Central bank functions - Monetary policy - Remit for MPC

122: Remit for MPC

You could also call this:

"The Minister must have a set of instructions for the MPC at all times."

Illustration for Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 2021

The Minister has to make sure there is always an MPC remit in place. You can think of a remit as a set of instructions. The Minister can issue a new MPC remit at any time. The Minister must do everything they can to ensure an MPC remit is always in force. This remit can be one the Minister issues or one that is already in force under the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 2021. It is the Minister's job to make this happen. You can find more information about this by looking at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act and similar laws, such as the 1989 law.
