Monetary Policy Statement
The Reserve Bank publishes its Monetary Policy Statement (MPS) quarterly. Each Monetary Policy Statement must set out:
- how the Reserve Bank proposes to achieve its targets;
- how it proposes to formulate and implement monetary policy during the next five years; and
- how monetary policy has been implemented since the last Monetary Policy Statement.
