The reserve bank governor resigned suddenly on the 5 March 2025

There are many reasons why Adrian threw the towel, in this article we explore why he just had enough.

1. Being a public servant, especially as this level, bring great pressure to perform and get it right. This causes tremdous stress, in business life as well in private life. In a position like the governors position there would be no life as this is a seven day a week job, keeping ahead of the fast moving economy and keeping the economy on track, especially inflation and or fighthing deflation, there is alway something to fight it never ends.

2. It was also noticed that Adrain had put on a lot of weight it could be seen in his face indicating stress and or health problems causes by stress of the job and the pressure to reduce the OCR.

3. Possible pressure from the Minister of Finance and the Prime Minister to reduce the OCR faster and sooner as the economy was and is tanking very badly and with elections around the corner in 2026 and national polls tanking the pressure was on. Adrian held out, as one of his jobs was to contain inflation. Inflation is coming under control the job is possibility 80% completed however the reduction in the OCR has not kicked in as at March 2025 and many business and property owners are going broke. These issues would have caused security problems causing further stress.

4. The possibility that Adrain was not a National Party Member therefore there may have been pressure to replace him with a National man.

5. Adrian is a wealthy man and investor, therefore he may have asked the question of himself " Why am i putting up with all of this nonsence when i dont have to'?

6. Therefore the answere became clear to Adrian, Adrian simply put up the sign GONE FISHING.

All the best Adrian you did your best in a very negative invoirment.
