RBNZ review: Monetary policy should have been tightened earlier in 2021

I like the idea of a central bank report card. Here's what the review of the RBNZ found in its evaluation of the 2017-2022.

• New Zealand has weathered the storm of the pandemic and war relatively well
• MonPol decisions were consistent with the data at the time
• Inflation and unemployment are low compared to the vast majority of OECD countries
• Current high inflation could have been lessened by hiking earlier
• Dramatic easing of monpol during pandemic was warranted

There's nothing groundbreaking here.
