Comments from New Zealand PM John Key (via Bloomberg):

  • Says NZ must not be gloomy about the economic outlook
  • NZ economy still growing at a good rate
  • NZ dollar has fallen faster than expected
  • Says lower interest rates will help support economy
  • Says New Zealand likely to have lower interest rates for longer

NZD getting a spurt from key's comments, from just under 0.6510 to 0.6625 or so as I update.
