Reserve Bank of Australia governor Michele Bullock addressed an international conference in Hong Kong on Tuesday. She told the audience – which included a number of central bankers – that Australian households and businesses are in a "pretty good position", despite the "political noise" regarding the RBA’s 13 interest rate increases since May 2022. Bullock also conceded that the RBA’s goal of returning inflation to its target range of 2-3 per cent by the end of 2025 is "very uncertain". Her predecessor Philip Lowe told the conference that he is concerned that central banks may not yet have lifted interest rates far enough to rein in inflation.
