The OCR has been reduced to 2.25%, and the economy is being supported by low interest rates and strong export prices, especially for meat, fruit, and dairy. These sectors are performing well, while industries focused on domestic consumers, such as retail and construction, are struggling.

Inflation is forecast to fall back to around 2% next year.>
