Full employment is a longstanding objective of monetary policy in Australia, alongside price stability. The Reserve Bank Board aims to achieve the maximum level of employment consistent with low and stable inflation in the medium term. This article explains how RBA staff form an assessment of how labour market conditions stand relative to full employment. RBA staff draw on a range of labour market indicators, model-based estimates and outcomes for wages growth and inflation. Any single indicator tends to provide a partial view of the ...

Demand for banknotes grew substantially over the COVID-19 pandemic period in many advanced economies. In Australia, the value of banknotes in circulation increased by 22 per cent, or $19 billion, between March 2020 and its peak in December 2022. This followed a period of already-strong banknote demand; in the decade prior to the pandemic, banknote demand was growing faster than GDP (Flannigan and Parsons 2018; Flannigan and Staib 2017). Banknote demand has since declined but remains close to its historical high. This strength, ...

Productivity growth enables rising living standards and is needed for real wages growth to be consistent with stable inflation over the medium term. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, productivity growth in Australia and other advanced economies had been low, because business dynamism, job mobility, global trade and policy reform all slowed. Over the past few years, the pandemic and other shocks distorted productivity outcomes. Even if these shorter term fluctuations wash out, the longer term (and apparently structural) weakness in ...

Climate change, and the actions taken in response to it, introduces both risks and opportunities for financial institutions. The Reserve Bank continues to monitor the build-up of climate-related financial stability risks, including how these risks are priced and who ultimately bears the physical and transition risks arising from climate change. Globally and in Australia, most analysis has found limited direct effects of climate risks on the financial system as a whole. Those that do arise fall unevenly, with the largest risks ...

Without a doubt, the main talking point from markets overnight has to be the 36.3bp decline in 2Y US Treasury yields, which now yield 3.887%. A 23.4bp decline in yields on 10Y US Treasuries means the 2s10s curve remains inverted, but at 3.455% on the 10Y, the curve is a lot flatter than it has been recently. A little over a week ago, the 2Y Treasury note was yielding more than 5%. All this seems still to be related to banking angst, with concern about Credit Suisse yesterday adding to the SVB drama of the previous week. OFR financial ...

Around one-third of all households rent their home, either in the private market or in public housing (Graph 1). Access to appropriate and affordable rental accommodation is an important issue for these households and the economy more broadly, as it has implications for patterns of consumption and savings and, most importantly, renters’ overall wellbeing (Productivity Commission 2014). This article examines the demographic and financial characteristics of renter households and recent trends in the rental market, focusing on the ...

Dr HC Coombs was Governor of Australia’s central bank for nearly 20 years. His appointment followed significant roles in Australia’s war-time administration and post-war reconstruction, where he was an architect of Australia’s international full employment policy, known as the ‘Positive Approach’. When appointed Governor of the central bank in 1949, Coombs remained committed to the pursuit of full employment. Influenced by Keynes, he sought to maintain aggregate demand and supply in ‘reasonable balance’, something the Reserve Bank ...

In 2001, the Reserve Bank established its liaison program – a formal program of economic intelligence gathering, through which Bank staff meet frequently with firms, industry bodies, government agencies and community organisations. The program is systematic in its approach to collecting and assessing information, and the intelligence obtained is a useful complement to published sources of data and economic models in informing the Bank’s assessment of economic conditions. In addition, the information gathered is available in near real ...
