Reserve Bank chair Neil Quigley has resigned with immediate effect after months of controversy over his handling of former Governor Adrian Orr’s departure.
Finance Minister Nicola Willis announced the exit in a brief Friday evening statement, thanking Quigley for his 15 years of service but noting Deputy Chair Rodger Finlay will step in until a replacement is appointed.
Quigley faced mounting criticism for initially describing Orr’s March resignation as a “personal decision,” only for later disclosures to reveal it stemmed from funding disputes with the board.
Fresh OIA revelations this week deepened concerns around transparency, prompting calls from the Taxpayers’ Union for his removal.

Very rare for the career troughers to resign. Not to worry, his incompetence and malaise will be rewarded handsomely with a cushie corporate gig. F+-k a country and the gates of Valhalla open wide.
Rothschilds and Perfidious Albion puppet.Then again, they all are.
Albion puppet? Can u explain?
Dont forget his name, it will be interesting to find out where he lands.
Probably on his feet, and running. Wonder if he is related to Mayor Quigley, from the Simson’s.
