Description: Representing 'the economy' a man on a high trapeze grabs desperately for a rope representing 'interest rates'. The pole from which his high wire is suspended is made up of several broken pieces taped together with 'No. 8 wire'; they represent 'food prices', 'fuel hikes', 'earthquakes', and 'recession' and are capped with a flag that represents 'the dollar'. Context - The Reserve Bank has made a relatively large 50-point cut in its benchmark interest rate, the Official Cash Rate (from 3% to 2.5 per cent). Critics say that inflation is already running unacceptably high and there is a threat of much higher inflation in a year or two when the rebuilding of Christchurch begins to put pressure on limited resources. The Reserve Bank acknowledged these factors, but it has chosen instead to focus on the immediate impact of the earthquake on the economy and particularly on all-important business and consumer sentiment.
