A former senior economist at the Reserve Bank is calling releasing details of who voted which way on the Official Cash Rate a 'baby step'. It's been agreed by the Minister of Finance and the Monetary Policy Committee that vote details will be released publicly if committee members are unable to come to consensus on the OCR. The charter comes into effect today. Michael Reddell says it's fairly rare for the committee not to come to a consensus, but it's a good step. "So I'm not criticising it, it's just that it's not a particularly bold move." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
