So, the RB talks about all the "other" weapons they have to combat the current crisis but the first reaction is to use the same old move - cut the cash rate!
it feels very ironic to me that the RBNZ hasnt even had time to implement its strategy to combat a 'one in 200 year' event before that very event happens , and even worse they decide to delay implementation of that strategy.

Adrian been outgunned today by Jerome...The FED cut rates 1% to Zero use what the FED calls crisis policy...and the Futures have been closed...Hmmm kinda doesn't sound good in the world atm..eh
Will NZ banks pass on all the rate cuts ?? and will kiwis get over the FEAR of CORVID19 and continue to buy and build new properties (really the heart of NZ growth over the last many years =Consumer spending)
