What is priced for the RBNZ

Dates are decision days, from each bank's own calendar as read on 11 November 2026. "Not yet priced" means the market curve behind that bank does not reach the meeting, or has no instrument for it; we do not fill the gap with a guess. The percentage is the leading outcome for that meeting; the rate beside it is the policy rate the curve implies after it. The full rate path to the end of 2027 is on the 2027 interest rate outlook.
