The Reserve Bank of Australia should review its inflation target range of 2-3 per cent, according to former Reserve Bank of New Zealand governor Don Brash. He adds that the target band may need to be widened rather than reduced. Australia’s inflation rate remains well below the target band, but former RBA governor Bernie Fraser does not believe that a review is necessary. Brash headed the RBNZ when it introduced inflation targeting in 1990; its inflation target is currently 1-3 per cent.
