Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Westpac's review of its 2026 forecasts shows a higher near-term inflation picture but also growth risks, conditions it says favour the RBNZ moving cautiously on the OCR in the lead-up to Christmas. No OCR level, CPI figure or growth number is given in the note, so the call is directional rather than numerical.
