RBNZ’s Record in a few charts
RBNZ opened for business in 1934. After looking at the below charts:
Consumer Price Inflation
Since 1934 the purchasing power (i.e. the internal value in the RBNZ language) of New Zealand’s currencies - first sterling, then decimal from 1967 - has collapsed. In 1914 (gold confiscated), 1920 (silver confiscated), 1947 (silver confiscated), and 1967 (decimalization) the currency was directly debased. Since then currency supply inflation has managed the debasement.
New Zealand U.S. Exchange Rate
New Zealand decimalized currency in 1967; data from 1971 (i.e. Nixon’s little trick). We can say the NZD has lost approximately half it value since 1970 (i.e. the external value in the RBNZ language).
