Why Trade-Weighted Index (NEER) matters for NZD
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand monitors the TWI when assessing imported inflation and the competitiveness of New Zealand's export sector. A strong TWI can reduce import inflation but also reduce export competitiveness.
How to interpret this series
A rising TWI means the nzd is strengthening in trade-weighted terms, reducing import costs but potentially weighing on export growth. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand may reference TWI levels in communications about currency policy.
