RBNZ can veto bosses in biggest ever bank merger

The RBNZ cleared New Zealand's biggest ever commercial deal, the takeover of the National Bank by ANZ, but added the condition that it could veto senior appointments of directors or senior management. It is the first time new prudential banking supervision rules - requiring the Reserve Bank to approve changes of bank ownership on a case-by-case basis - have been applied.
