新西兰央行行长表示，决策者下次于12月会面时加息的可能性“很高”。
New Zealand’s central bank governor says there is a “high” chance of an interest rate increase when policymakers next meet in December.
周四，行长安娜·布雷曼在奥克兰出席《先驱报NOW》节目时，被问及12月官方现金利率（OCR）上调的几率。“我会说可能性很高，”她回答。
Appearing on Herald NOW Thursday in Auckland, Governor Anna Breman was asked about the chances of the Official Cash Rate rising in December. “I would say that they’re high,” she replied.
新西兰储备银行昨日出人意料地将OCR维持在2.75%不变，令市场和经济学家感到意外，理由是全球经济前景风险以及疲软的国内经济放缓了高油价向更广泛通胀的传导。布雷曼昨日确实表示，在未来几次会议上进一步上调OCR极有可能。
The Reserve Bank yesterday surprised markets and economists by leaving the OCR on hold at 2.75%, citing the risks to the global economic outlook and a sluggish domestic economy that is slowing the pass-through of high fuel prices to broader inflation. Breman did say yesterday that further OCR increases were highly likely at coming meetings.
投资者定价显示，12月9日加息25个基点的概率为85%，大多数经济学家也预计利率将升至3%。
Investors are pricing an 85% chance of a quarter-point hike on Dec. 9, while most economists also see an increase to 3%.
布雷曼重申，决策者希望观察第三季度连续两次加息对本地经济的影响，但重点在于将通胀带回新西兰储备银行1%-3%目标区间的2%中点。
Breman reiterated that policymakers wanted to see how back-to-back rate increases in the third quarter were impacting the local economy, but were focused on returning inflation to the 2% midpoint of the RBNZ’s 1-3% target band.
“通胀仍然很高，”布雷曼对《先驱报NOW》表示，“我们一点也不喜欢。我们的工作是确保将其降下来。”
“Inflation is still high,” Breman told Herald NOW. “We don’t like it at all. It’s our job to ensure that we bring it back down.”
