framework and the effect of that policy on the Australian economy.
The Reserve Bank issues a Statement on Monetary

and the prospects for inflation and output growth. These statements have
replaced the Semi-Annual Statements on Monetary Policy and the Quarterly
Reports on the Economy and Financial Markets which were previously issued
by the Bank.
The Governor, Deputy Governor and other senior officers of the Bank appear generally twice-yearly before the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Economics.
