The Reserve Bank of New Zealand's upcoming quarterly Survey of Inflation Expectations is poised to be a critical indicator of inflation psychology, as highlighted in the recent analysis from Westpac. Per the full note [source], the survey's two-year ahead measure will be particularly scrutinized, as it reflects medium-term inflation expectations that could influence monetary policy decisions. With inflation pressures broadening across sectors, a confirmation of rising expectations could compel the RBNZ to reassess its current policy stance. This aligns with our view that the market should prepare for potential shifts in rate expectations ahead of the survey's release.
