There are a few public comments coming up from the Reserve Bank of Australia soon:
February 6 we get the RBA’s Statement on Monetary Policy, which will elaborate on the bank’s thinking in cutting rates (Governor Stevens issued his regular ‘accompanying statement’ yesterday, full text is here and headlines here)
- The Statement on Monetary Policy is issued four times a year.
- It sets out the Bank’s assessment of current economic conditions, both domestic and international, along with the outlook for Australian inflation and output growth. A number of boxes on topics of special interest are also published
On February 9 Governor Glenn Stevens will speak at the RMB Clearing Bank launch ceremony in Sydney
On February 12 Guy Debelle, Assistant Governor (Financial Markets), speaks at the FX Week Australia Conference
Glenn Stevens is at it again on 13 February, when he fronts up to parliament’s House of Representatives’ Standing Committee on Economics. I wonder if they’ll ask him about Terry McCrann’s access to the scoop? Should be interesting.
17 February brings us the release of the Minutes of yesterday’s February Monetary Policy Meeting
