Mr. Brash looks at economic developments and their bearing on inflationary trends Speaking notes of Mr. Donald Brash, Governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, on the release of the September, 1997 Economic Projections in Wellington on 17/9/97. Introduction Good morning, and welcome to this briefing on the Reserve Bank’s September 1997 Economic Projections.
You will recall that, in contrast to our June and December Monetary Policy Statements, which the Bank is obliged to produce by statute, the Economic Projections which we release each March and September are more in the nature of ‘self-initiated’ documents.
