12 November 2024 – We have updated our research agenda for the 2024-25 year: Our research programme – Reserve Bank of New Zealand – Te Pūtea Matua (ref. https://govt.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bd316aa7ee4f5679c56377819&id=16423170fd&e=f3c68946f8 )
In an ever-changing world, our research into different dimensions of the New Zealand economy is the bedrock enabling us to make well-informed policy decisions.
The RBNZ plays a central role in the New Zealand economy, setting monetary policy to support price stability, and acting as kaitiaki (guardians) of the financial system. To achieve our mandate, we draw on a comprehensive body of research into the New Zealand economy, which asks big questions ranging from how individual firms set their prices to what the future of money will look like in Aotearoa.
Publishing our work allows us to engage in the public conversation about the New Zealand economy, while leveraging the expertise of the economics community to gain feedback on our methods and findings.
Our monetary policy research is guided by our Monetary Policy Remit and centres around 6 broad research themes below. A large part of our 2024-25 research agenda has been shaped by the findings from our most recent Review and Assessment of the Formulation and Implementation of Monetary Policy over the five years to 2022, which identified key areas where a better understanding of the economy is needed to improve monetary policy decision-making in the future.
Key research themes:
- Inflation
- Forecasting and Modelling
- Tools, transmission and communication
- Small open economy macroeconomics
- Labour market
- Monetary policy framework, strategy and coordination.
