Budding bankers from Napier Girls' High School are through to the Monetary Policy Challenge national final.
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand today announced that Napier Girls' High School has qualified for the national final of its 2015 Monetary Policy Challenge (MPC).
The MPC gives secondary school students the opportunity to put themselves in the shoes of Reserve Bank economists and recommend what the Official Cash Rate could be.
This year the competition was partly run online and the year 12 and 13 students presented their monetary policy decision via video conference.
The students' presentations largely focused on current key factors influencing the economy such as dairy prices, housing market activity, and low inflation.
