What we do

The Reserve Bank has released a new video explaining its three key roles: managing inflation; producing currency; and regulating banks, finance companies and insurers.

Using three animated characters mixed with real life situations, the one minute video explores the Bank’s role in the NZ economy and financial system, giving the public a better understanding of what it does and why.

The video is part of a series of animated videos prepared by the Reserve Bank. These include:

• The OCR and how it works
• What is the economy?
• Compound Interest
• What is money?
• and Stress tests.
