Reserve Bank of Australia governor Glenn Stevens will step down in September 2016, after 10 years in the role. The Federal Government may accelerate the appointment of a successor given that it is an election year. Deputy governor Philip Lowe is widely seen as the leading contender to replace Stevens, but former federal treasurer Peter Costello believes that international candidates should be considered. Martin Parkinson, David Gruen and Warwick McKibbin have been touted as potential successors to Stevens.
