"The exchange rate has yet to adjust materially to the lower commodity prices. Its current level remains unjustified and unsustainable. We expect a further significant depreciation, which should be reinforced as monetary policy in the US begins to normalise." A key indicator in the statement, the NZD should weaken against other currencies especially depreciating against the USD on a medium to long term basis.
