    A warning the Reserve Bank is walking a fine line

    A warning the Reserve Bank is walking a fine line


    Infometrics expects an OCR cut to 2.25 percent next month - down from the current 2.5 percent.

    It says that combined with other measures, will accelerate growth to 2.3 percent a year by 2027.

    Infometrics Chief Forecaster Gareth Kiernan says there's a risk with the OCR falling that low.

    He says there's the risk of creating inflation heading into 2027.
