Reserve Bank of New Zealand Macroprudential Policy Framework
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand issues this framework to establish the principles and processes for using macroprudential instruments to mitigate boom-bust cycles. The policy aims to reduce the likelihood and severity of financial crises by requiring banks to hold additional capital and liquidity buffers while restricting household lending through loan-to-value ratios. This approach complements baseline prudential requirements to enhance financial system resilience and prevent the amplification of economic downturns.
