What it measures

This release measures how much New Zealand’s total economic output changed from the previous quarter. It is the broadest snapshot of activity and helps the RBNZ judge whether demand is strong enough to sustain inflation or weak enough to justify lower rates.

Why it moves the NZD

Stronger growth can support the NZD if it reduces expectations for OCR cuts, while contraction can weaken it by increasing the case for easier policy. GDP is a major release, though the first estimate can be revised and markets also assess its detail.
