The Reserve Bank says it wasn't dragged kicking and screaming to a review of capital rules. 

It's put out two proposals aimed at loosening capital requirements.  

Board Chair Neil Quigley says they were reviews that the bank has been looking at for a while.  

He told Mike Hosking if they were loosened, it wouldn't cause too much of a shakeup, and it probably won't have a big effect on pricing.  

Meanwhile, Quigley says the decision about a full-time replacement for Adrian Orr is weeks away.
