The independent review of the Reserve Bank of Australia is slated to report to the federal government in mid-2023. Treasurer Jim Chalmers has indicated that the size and composition of the RBA’s board are among the issues that will be considered; he says the government wants the board to be comprised of people representing all parts of Australia and all parts of the economy. The RBA board is currently dominated by people from the business sector, but there have been calls for it to include more economists. ACTU secretary Sally McManus has in turn advocated having a union representative on the board for the first time since the 1990s.
