Central banks set fresh exchange and policy rates as Reserve Bank of New Zealand lifts cash rate to 2.75%

Reserve Bank of New Zealand lifts official cash rate to 2.75%

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand — Te Pūtea Matua — confirmed that its Monetary Policy Committee agreed to increase the official cash rate to 2.75% on Wednesday 2 September. The bank's home page surfaces the media release and record of meeting alongside the policy rate itself, which is the figure practitioners need for mortgage repricing, deposit rollovers and any indexed commercial contract that references the official cash rate. Anyone updating a fixed-rate model after the announcement should refresh the policy input and rerun amortisation through a Mortgage Calculator to see how the higher rate changes the monthly figure.

Swiss National Bank keeps policy rate at 0.00%, sight deposit tier at 0.00%

The Swiss National Bank's statistics page lists the SNB policy rate at 0.00% valid from 20.06.2025, with the interest rate on sight deposits up to the applicable threshold also at 0.00% from the same effective date. Because the two tier rates remain unchanged on the page captured on 2026-09-08, the publication acts as a confirmation snapshot rather than a fresh move, and Swiss-franc funding inputs in any cross-border model can be held flat pending the bank's next explicit decision. Readers pricing CHF-denominated loans should still mark the 20.06.2025 effective date when documenting the assumption.

National Bank of Ukraine posts official hryvnia reference table for cross-border accounting

The National Bank of Ukraine maintains an Official Exchange Rates page that publishes the rate to be used in accounting for transactions between the NBU and the STSU. Captured on 2026-09-08, the entry serves as the canonical hryvnia reference for compliance and invoicing rather than a market mid-rate, so accountants should treat it as the binding figure for any STSU-side settlement even if interbank screens show a tighter spread. Treasury teams converting UAH into other currencies for group reporting can pair the table with a Car Loan Calculator when modelling fleet financing in the local currency.

Central Bank of Egypt and Bank of Mauritius publish indicative reference tables

0310. Separately, the Bank of Mauritius publishes consolidated indicative MUR exchange rates computed as simple averages of the indicative rates submitted by all banks. For practitioners, the Egyptian grid provides mid-spread inputs for import-cost modelling while the Mauritian table supports averaging workflows rather than transaction-priced deals.

Anyone reconciling supplier invoices in EGP or MUR should record the 2026-09-08 capture date so later audit work can reproduce the rate used.

What practitioners should track between now and the next decision

With four central bank reference tables captured on the same date and one explicit policy move on 2 September, the immediate workflow is reconciliation rather than re-modelling. 75% as the new input. A pending Extract Numbers from Text pass can speed up copying the bid/ask grid into a worksheet, while readers comparing cost-of-funding across borders may want to revisit the wider late-summer mortgage picture captured in earlier Central banks post fresh exchange-rate and yield tables reference coverage.

No date is stated in the evidence for the next Swiss or Ukrainian decision, so a qualitative watch for the next published policy statement is the appropriate forward marker.
