New Zealand's economy unexpectedly contracted by 0.3% in the third quarter, raising concerns about recession. Household spending fell by 0.6%, contributing to the contraction. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand kept the official cash rate at 5.5% but surprised economists with a hawkish tone, raising questions about potential rate hikes. The economic slowdown, coupled with lower inflation estimates, is causing concerns.
