Economists are predicting a record rise in the Official Cash Rate on Wednesday.

The Reserve Bank is expected to hike the rate by 75-basis-points, up to 4.25 percent.

That would be the biggest jump in OCR since it was introduced in 1999, and it's expected to only rise higher early next year.

ASB's chief economist Nick Tuffley spoke to Corin Dann.
