…including the Minister of Finance Of course, as I have already recognised, our key stakeholder is the Minister of Finance. To get the best out of that relationship, we need to continue to understand government priorities and our contribution to the broader economic wellbeing of New Zealanders.
But we also want the Minister to understand and support our objectives, respect the Reserve Bank for its advice, and hold us to account for our performance. Our role is to make sure the Minister has the information he needs to do that. This is also means working closely with the Treasury who will be acting as monitor on the Minister’s behalf.
