New Zealand hikes rates for first time in 3 years
Wellington - AFP
New Zealand's central bank lifted the official cash rate (OCR) 0.25 points to 2.75 percent on Thursday, ending a three-year interest rate freeze imposed after the devastating Christchurch earthquake. In a widely anticipated move, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand said rates no longer needed to be kept at a record low of 2.5 percent because the economy's expansion "has considerable momentum". "By increasing the OCR as needed to keep future average inflation near the 2.0 percent target mid-point, the bank is seeking to ensure that the economic expansion can be sustained," governor Graeme Wheeler said.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.
