The following is the Reserve Bank's schedule for the release of its quarterly Monetary Policy Statements and Official Cash Rate announcements for 2009.
Each Monetary Policy Statement includes within it an OCR announcement, so, as usual, in total there will be eight OCR announcements during 2009. Each announcement will be made at 9.00 am on the day concerned.
The two Financial Stability Report release dates are also confirmed for 2009.
