Opposition parties question Reserve Bank governor reappointment

From Midday Report, 12:11 pm on 8 November 2022

The National and ACT parties are unimpressed the Reserve Bank Governor Adrian Orr has been reappointed for a second term.

Opposition parties want an independent review of the central bank's performance and decisions during the pandemic.

The finance minister Grant Robertson is defending the decision, saying the economy needs "Continuity and stability".

RNZ's political editor Jane Patterson spoke to Jimmy Ellingham.
