from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB
Signs of fatigue with another review of the country's Covid-19 response now in the works. Finance Minister Nicola Willis new inquiry looks at the Reserve Bank's monetary policy decisions, including printing $55 billion. Findings are to be released just weeks before Election Day. Massey University business professor Claire Matthews says there's potentially some value in it, but the timing feels like an election ploy. She told Ryan Bridge we're also now six years past the start of Covid. Matthews says the Reserve Bank has also already done a review and taken lessons from it, so how much more are we going to learn.
