Fears interest rate cuts might've gone too far

Economic consultancy Infometrics says the impacts of the latest OCR cut probably won't be felt until mid to late next year - by which point the economy will be growing.

It could mean greater inflation - with predictions the OCR will rise again as early as late next year.

Independent economist Cameron Bagrie says caution is needed.

He says if the economy does kick into gear, there could be capacity issues, and inflation could rear its ugly head again.
