Copies of text messages just released by Treasury confirm Adrian Orr was likely to be sacked if he didn't resign as Reserve Bank Governor. The process was so advanced, Secretary to the Treasury Iain Rennie warned Finance Minister Nicola Willis she might receive a recommendation from the Reserve Bank board to advise the Governor-General to remove Orr.

We should all thank Kelly Eckhold, a some-time participant on this show and most-of-the-time economist at Westpac, for his thinking around the future of the Reserve Bank. As I have said many times, if one good thing came out of Covid, it put the Reserve Bank, its role, and its influence front and centre for many more of us that may never really have paid attention to its workings and its ability to shape everyday aspects of our lives. Eckhold suggests the new governor put the inflation target a little higher than 1-3%. Historically we sit at about 2.5%, so chasing less than that can have a lot of effects you may, or may not, want. Do remember some inflation is good. You want inflation, you just don't want the amount we have had, and you want it produced from growth, not just cost-plus-accounting from councils and power companies. More importantly for me is the public accountability. The Quigley/Orr debacle shows you what can go on when public disclosure is not as fulsome as it could be. Eckhold wants the Monetary Committee vote made public. Good idea, so it should be. It's not often there is a divergence, but there has been lately. In fact, the last statement involved a 4-2 vote, which has never happened before. So why don't we know who they were and what they said? The rules as they stand mean a person on the committee can out themselves. But you will notice from last time that no one has. Why not? Next idea: a press conference should be held after each meeting, not just the ones that produce a cash rate call. I know I'm a wonk, but I cannot press enough the value of watching these things live. Not just the Reserve Bank, but opticians who these days, thanks to digital coverage of places like the Herald, run them in full routinely. The irony of that is you would be amazed what you learn, as opposed to what you may or may not learn from a news bulletin edited and often curtailed to a point of nonsense later in the day in a news bulletin. The best example is the Prime Minister's press conference on a Monday after Cabinet. So, more pressers, more transparency, which is more detail, more sunlight, more inquisition and more knowledge. What possibly could the Reserve Bank argue is wrong with that? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, sponsored by Flexdoc, we discuss the slowdown in the US economy and what it means for property investors here in Australia. The latest data shows US job growth cooling, unemployment edging up, and business confidence turning lower. That's a major signal for the US Federal Reserve, which is now under pressure to cut interest rates to stop the slowdown from tipping into a deeper recession.Rate cuts in the US don't just stay in the US. They set the tone for global markets. When the Fed moves, the Reserve Bank of Australia takes notice. With inflation easing locally and growth already soft, the RBA will have room to follow with its own cuts. Europe and China are facing the same challenges, which means 2025 could be a year of coordinated global easing.For Australian property investors, this matters. The first sign of lower rates often sparks confidence. Investors re-enter the market, even before several cuts take place. Add that to a supply shortage, strong population growth, and tight rental markets, and the outlook for property remains supported.Listen in as Peter breaks down how global trends shape local opportunities.

Further revelations, first reported by the Spinoff, show the Reserve Bank of New Zealand failed to publicly disclose a meeting held at the time it was disputing its funding with the government.

Rhetorical question - why do you think Neil Quigley quit on a Friday night? The key is, he would have been booted if he didn't walk. So it sort of ends a shambolic and shameful period for what should be one of our most esteemed institutions. Between Orr and Quigley (mainly Orr) they have made a joke of the Reserve Bank. What should have happened is simple. When the Government decided, rightly, that the gargantuan amount of money Orr wanted to run his fiefdom was never going to fly Orr should have, in an adult way, stated he disagreed and he disagreed to the point he could not see himself continuing in the job. He would then resign, they would organise a nice, but frugal, farewell morning tea and that would have been that. But what actually happened was Orr chucked his toys, yelled and stamped his feet to the extent that Quigley had to write to Orr. All this was also kept secret until the Official Information Act and the Ombudsman forced their hand and exposed them for the bunch of egotistical babies they are. Quigley was yelling at Treasury, Orr was yelling at Willis, deals were looking to be done, letters and proof was looking to be binned and cheques were being written to make it all go away. Lest we forget, in an irony of ironies, this is the same group of clowns who buried the economy in the hole we are still trying to get ourselves out of years after Covid. So they couldn't do their job, they stuffed the place, then packed a massive sad when their rain shower of funding was getting rectified, started a big tantrum and scrap with various departments and ministers, then tried to cover it all up. Have I missed anything? Oh, Orr vanished with the money, never to be heard from again. To his credit Quigley hung around and made a few public appearances while trying to paint a picture of normality, until the Ombudsman undid him last week and that was that. They really are an embarrassing, shambolic mess. On a side note, it's also why I assume Christian Hawkesby stands zero chance of getting Orr's old job. He is fatally linked to this period of mayhem. We'd be glad to see the back of them, if it wasn't for the fact we are still trying to clean up the mess and every one of us is paying the bill.

Christopher Luxon doesn't think the Reserve Bank's reputation has suffered any long-term damage. Neil Quigley resigned as chair of the central bank on Friday night, after Nicola Willis raised concerns over its handling of Adrian Orr's resignation earlier this year. Willis has revealed to Newstalk ZB, she would have asked Quigley to resign, if he hadn't resigned of his own accord. The Prime Minister says Quigley has made the right decision. He doesn't think the current situation is a mess, but it would have been a shambles if it had carried out much longer. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The resignation of the Reserve Bank chair Neil Quigley was announced by Finance Minister Nicola Willis last night as happening with "immediate effect". It came after months of close scrutiny over his handling of Adrian Orr's resignation as Governor. Quigley described Orr's resignation, in early March, as a "personal decision" but a series of revelations followed that cast doubt on that. Minister Willis declined to be interviewed on Saturday Morning but in a pre-recorded interview to RNZ last night she said "Mr Quigley chose to tend his resignation. If he had not offered his resignation, I would have asked him for it." RNZ Business Editor Gyles Beckford has the latest.

Reserve Bank Chair Neil Quigley has resigned. Acting political editor Craig McCulloch spoke to Lisa Owen.

Whether it's the government, international organisations, higher education, or the media, one of the defining dynamics of the social media age is the deteriorating trust in public institutions. It's extraordinary, really. At a time when humans are on the whole wealthier, healthier, and more dominant than at any other time in our species' history, we're more distrustful of the institutions that are supposed to serve us. Saturday Mornings is usually a monetary policy-free zone, and I promise to mostly keep it that way for now. But it was pretty remarkable at the close of play last night to see an announcement from the Finance Minister about the Chair of the Reserve Bank. Neil Quigley had resigned, effective immediately, following further revelations about his handling of former Governor Adrian Orr's departure. Nicola Willis confirmed to Newstalk ZB that if Quigley hadn't offered his resignation, she'd have asked for it. I don't expect everyone to follow all of the Reserve Bank dramas. But the long and short of it is that former Governor Adrian Orr got in a dispute with the government over the bank's funding. It turned into a showdown of sorts, the Reserve Bank Board raised concerns with him about his conduct (some of which he disputed), and after taking leave for a few days he ultimately resigned. But instead of being absolutely transparent about the dispute and what had actually happened, the RBNZ Chair Neil Quigley told media that Orr had resigned for “personal reasons”. If this was just some rando then no harm no foul. But Adrian Orr was the Governor of the Reserve Bank, one of the most powerful public servants in the country. His pen stroke and the decisions of his Monetary Policy Committee could be the difference between thousands or hundreds of thousands of people losing their jobs or homes. Like many journalists, I didn't buy the “personal reasons” explanation and felt we all deserved to know more detail about what had actually happened. Ater all, this wasn't a private company. The Reserve Bank serves us. After Neil Quigley's explanation, and after the Reserve Bank declined for Adrian Orr to be interviewed, I even went to the extreme length of sending him a letter at his home asking him to front. It's something I'd almost never do, but the public deserved an explanation. And it's taken until now and a ruling from the ombudsman for us to get the full story. I think there are lessons in this for all of us who work in jobs that purport to serve the public. In my role, I think about trust a lot. And look, I know this is very different to the Reserve Bank, much lower stakes, but I had the chance to reflect on my own work this week, and tried to lean into the spirit of introspection and openness. I was on a podcast, re_covering, in which Newstalk ZB's Frank Ritchie asks journalists to reflect on a story they covered. I didn't choose one which I'd absolutely nailed. Instead, I reflected on my five years as TVNZ's US Correspondent, and on my surprise at the first election of Donald Trump. As I said on re_covering, the fact so many of us were so shocked by the result (including Trump!) shows I and the rest of the news media covering that election had done a massively insufficient job of reflecting the scale of the anger and dissatisfaction with the status quo in the US. That election changed the world. Ultimately, I hope reflecting on my surprise will make me more sceptical of conventional wisdom, and better at my job today. Humans are fallible. We all make mistakes. But the Reserve Bank episode demonstrates the best thing a public institution can do to protect its reputation is not try and protect its reputation. Just admit when you got things wrong. Admit things that make you look bad. Learn lessons the hard way. Convince the public you have nothing to hide by showing us you have nothing to hide.

Reserve Bank board chairman Neil Quigley has resigned “with immediate effect” in the wake of the shambolic handling of Adrian Orr's resignation as Governor. Finance Minister Nicola Willis made the announcement just before 6pm on Friday - the day after the Reserve Bank revealed Orr temporarily stepped down as Governor a week before the public was told he resigned The Finance Minister says she did not ask the Reserve Bank Chair to quit, following news he's resigned with immediate effect.

Federated Farmers' banking spokesmen - past and present - say the Reserve Bank’s decision to review bank capital rules is the first step towards lower interest rates and fairer access to finance for farmers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Reserve Bank's move to review banking capital rules has been welcomed by Federated Farmers. Banking spokesperson Mark Hooper says the stricter rules make it difficult for farmers to borrow money - and these changes will make things fairer. The Country's Jamie Mackay explained further. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The banking inquiry came out and the Reserve Bank is now talking about a 'higher risk appetite' for capital settings. That followed a decision to cut the OCR by 25 basis points, which upset commentators who have the sympathy of the Prime Minister. Dan Brunskill is an economic policy reporter for Interest NZ.

Has the penny dropped? There was no shortage of headlines and news coverage yesterday out of our interview with the Prime Minister on the Reserve Bank. In a nutshell, Luxon suggested Christian Hawkesby blew it and should have/could have moved faster on the cash rate. This is news, but not because the Prime Minister is right. We all know he is right. But there is a convention whereby because the Reserve Bank is independent you don't bag them, especially if you are a politician, far less the most influential politician. But here is why Luxon was right and deserves recognition for what he said: there comes a time when you've got to say what you've got to say. You can't dance around convention without becoming convention's victim. There is too much of that. People who can't have a go at judges is another example. By tiptoeing around the truth, we invite complacency and accountability becomes woefully lacking. The cold, hard politics are at play as well. Christian Hawkesby and his gang of monetary committee wonks aren't up for re-election next year. Believe me, if Luxon wanders the countryside telling us he wished the cash rate was lowered faster, he's not getting any sympathy. The extreme of course is Trump, where you call for sackings and, occasionally, actually do some sacking. We don't need to be that unhinged. But it is unfairly restrictive for a government to cut spending, cut red tape, change rules and laws, trim jobs, cap councils, upend the RMA, and get the fast track going. Or in other words, work their butts off pulling every lever they can to fire the joint up. But in the meantime, the old dump de dos on the terrace can't see a contraction when it smacks them in the face and they stall the economy through ineptitude. Also, quite apart from anything, we like strong leadership. We like people telling it like it is. If Luxon has had a weakness it might just be he has been a bit corporate, a bit beige, a bit polite and a bit nice. Hopefully yesterday was the start of something new and more strident and with it a few more people are held to open, public account. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show Podcast for Tuesday 26th of August, the Reserve Bank is opening consultation on banks' capital requirements – Chair Neil Quigley discusses the situation.

The Reserve Bank says it wasn't dragged kicking and screaming to a review of capital rules. It's put out two proposals aimed at loosening capital requirements. Board Chair Neil Quigley says they were reviews that the bank has been looking at for a while. He told Mike Hosking if they were loosened, it wouldn't cause too much of a shakeup, and it probably won't have a big effect on pricing. Meanwhile, Quigley says the decision about a full-time replacement for Adrian Orr is weeks away. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Prime Minister's stressing he doesn't tell the Reserve Bank what to do, but does offer his view. Chris Luxon told Mike Hosking this morning he gives interim Governor Christian Hawkesby his reckons before the OCR's set. Speaking this afternoon, Luxon denied he has any influence over the bank's decisions. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper wonders if this is still too much for Luxon.

A banking expert believes changes to capital requirements would impact home loans and other lending. The Reserve Bank's seeking feedback on proposals to lower the requirements. The Government is concerned the current settings are inhibiting economic growth. Head of Massey University's Finance school, Dr Claire Matthews, says a lot of people have said the bank's gone too far with those requirements. "It's just taken the Government intervention to actually force them to have another look at it." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we’re rewinding to 2020: a year that needs no introduction. Grief, loss, anxiety, chaos – it was heavy. And somehow, the music we featured that year mirrored all those messy, chaotic emotions of helplessness, of isolation, and loneliness - all of which came spilling out uncontrollably. This episode is about taking a pause and taking stock of the tiniest things. The good, the bad, the ugly. Basically, it's a much needed therapy session. Yet, even though the world shut down, we got to record some true gems including our #RunTheWorld Ladies Special and our 200th episode!!! – with our very own “Reserve Bank of Indie” 200-rupee note in circulation (if only it were legal tender…) This is a snapshot of a year we’d rather forget, told through music we can't help but love.

"MP's struggle to identify silver bullet solutions". That was the headline Friday as Jenee Tibshraeny detailed a years worth of work by the Finance and Expenditure Committee that has come up with zip. Oh they have made recommendations, don't get me wrong. Imagine what it would look like if they had been toiling away for a year and came up with a blank piece of paper. But without telling you I told you so... I told you so. Here is the difference between us and them. They entered this particular exercise with an ideological or conspiratorial bent. The opposition and their ideas involve public ownership, Māori banking theories and all sorts of psychobabble that has nothing to do with competition. The Government has the Nicola Willis idea that this is all a scam, the banks are crooks and they are ripping us off. I have argued there is no scam, there is plenty of competition and I have become increasingly convinced the issue really lies in the Reserve Bank and their desire for retail banks to hold gargantuan amounts of money in reserve "just in case". Labour buys into this thinking, which is why they appointed Adrian Orr, who introduced the rules in the first place. The evidence is all around us. Is there choice? Do people swap banks a lot? Do banks openly compete for customers? Can you do deals through brokers, or directly? Yes, yes, yes and yes. Would more banks help? Probably, but there is nothing stopping them opening. So, the committee has no silver bullet. Do you know why? Because there isn't one. Because guess what - the system isn't broken. No, it's not perfect. It's what happens with limited markets and small populations. As I have said to Nicola Willis all along, if you've got an answer, do it. Pull the trigger, show us your trick and wave your wand. But one year of searching tells you one thing. If you look at things with an open mind, you wouldn't have gone down the rabbit hole. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week the Reserve Bank cut wholesale interest rates, by a quarter of a percent, which caused relief for some. But are borrowers reaping all the rewards from the cut? After the drop was anounced on Wednesday, there were a flurry of rates changes , but some have gone down further than others. To explain why, money corresponent Susan Edmunds spoke to Lisa Owen.

The coalition is under pressure from the cost-of-living crisis, with job losses, soaring food prices and a construction slowdown hitting hard. This week brought some policy changes and a Reserve Bank rate cut. On Focus on Politics, RNZ acting political editor Craig McCulloch looks at whether that relief will be enough to break the government's winter of discontent. Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

The Reserve Bank's economic report card is out. Wholesale interest rates dropped 25 basis points to 3%, but inflation us expected to rise to 3% in September and hit its 2% sweet spot until mid next year. Unemployment is also expected to grow, according to reserve bank forcasts the unemployment rate won't get below 5% until December 2026. Kiwibank chief economist Jarrod Kerr spoke to Lisa Owen.

Do we need to slash interest rates even further to get the economy going? Jarrod Kerr, Kiwibank Chief Economist, reckons the Reserve Bank needs to do more. Hear Jarrod’s belief that politicians have skimped on infrastructure investment for 30 years, and why he’s not afraid of increasing the deficit.

Banks are cutting home loan rates after the Reserve Bank cut the Official Cash Rate by 25 basis points, bringing it to a three-year-low of 3 percent. Cotality chief property economist Kelvin Davidson spoke to Corin Dann.

The Reserve Bank cut the Official Cash Rate by 25 basis points on Wednesday, surprising no one. Money correspondent Susan Edmunds spoke to Corin Dann.

Inflation is at 3%. The Reserve Bank wants to lock it there. Interest rates are edging down. But the bigger picture is far from settled: • Growth is stuck below 1% • US tariffs threaten trade and jobs • The rand's strength rests on fragile global sentiment • Consumers are squeezed and government finances remain stretched In this episode of No Ordinary Wednesday, Jeremy Maggs speaks to Investec Chief Economist Annabel Bishop about the shifting sands of macroeconomic policy, and what it means for business, households and markets. Podcast key moments: 00:00 – Introduction 01:16 - What's behind the SARB's shift in inflation targeting? And will it or not result in significant rates cut? 04:44 - What would be the key triggers for either accelerating or pausing rate cuts? 07:43 – What sectors are potential bright spots and which structural drags are most likely to keep the annual growth rate anchored near one percent? 11:12 - What scale of impact do you anticipate tariffs will have our growth, trade balance, and broader economic outlook? 13:59 – How resilient is the South African consumer, and where are we seeing the greatest pressure on household spending? 16:22 - The rand has found support from recent dollar weakness, but how much of this strength is simply global sentiment, and how much reflects genuine improvements in South Africa's economic fundamentals? 18:44 - How would you characterise current financial-market sentiment towards South Africa? 23:29 - Which key economic indicators will you be tracking most closely in the coming months, and why do they matter for South Africa's outlook?
