Reserve Bank Monitoring Financial Markets
Reserve Bank Acting Governor Grant Spencer said today that the Reserve Bank is closely following developments in the
financial markets, both domestically and offshore.
"Following the recent disruptions in global credit markets, the Reserve Bank has been closely monitoring the impact on
the domestic markets and liquidity conditions," said Mr Spencer.
"While some additional pressures have been present, we believe the level of cash within the banking system is adequate
and markets continue to function satisfactorily.
"The Bank will continue to monitor conditions closely and stands ready to provide additional liquidity should that be
necessary," Mr Spencer concluded.
