First independent review of the Reserve Bank orders sweeping overhaul
Two new boards will deal with monetary policy decisions and governance separately
The rate-setting panel will be filled with experts and be expected to challenge the governor
Rates decisions will occur eight times annually, down from 11
Board members will be encouraged to speak out and their personal rate votes will be disclosed anonymously

But the release of the extensive formal review provides an official document to assess where the institution has gone wrong. It outlines how and why Australians are paying a price for the central bank’s pandemic policy decisions.
