2 The monthly Board meeting cycle begins with staff analysis of statistical and liaison information. A large data set is monitored – a couple of thousand domestic and international data series are routinely tracked, including all the major ABS statistical releases, and at last count 16 privately compiled Australian business surveys.
Following this, there is a sequence of meetings involving the most senior staff and the Governors, and the preparation of memoranda for the Board. The process culminates in the Board meeting, held on the first Tuesday of the month. 3 Papers are available to members over the preceding weekend.
