RBNZ's Wheeler says a lower New Zealand dollar is needed to increase tradables inflation and help deliver more balanced growth

  • Would not use DTIS while housing market continues to moderate

  • Further surge in house prices can't be ruled out as mortgage rates are low, net migration flows strong

  • Long-term inflation expectations remain well anchored at the target mid-point of 2 percent

  • Lvrs are not expected to be a permanent measure, but their removal would require a degree of confidence that financial stability risks won't deteriorate again

  • There's a risk of a housing market resurgence if lvrs were removed at this time
