Abstract

This paper develops a Financial Conditions Index for New Zealand (NZFCI) at the monthly frequency. The NZFCI summarises information from 73 relevant financial and macroeconomic variables. The index is constructed using a novel methodology that addresses the incompleteness of a high-frequency data-set; combining a mixed-frequency Bayesian dynamic factor model with probabilistic principal component techniques that resolve the challenges posed by missing data points.
