The review will focus on the Reserve Bank's decisions, communication, use of additional tools like the Large Scale Asset Purchase programme, and coordination with fiscal policy, with monetary policy experts Athanasios Orphanides and David Archer appointed to lead it. The findings are expected by August 2026 and will be publicly released in September 2026.
