Here's the speech from Malcolm Edey, Assistant Governor (Financial System) of the Reserve Bank of Australia:

(I suggest printing it out and keeping it beside the bed for those nights when no matter what you do you just can't go to sleep).

He hasn't said much of note for AUD traders, but there is this, Bloomberg with the comments:

  • "Interest-rate settings around the world are still at exceptionally low levels to support growth"
  • Economies take a lot longer to recover from a financial crisis than they do from other types of downturn

ps. If there is a Q&A we might get something more on the economy or monetary policy, if so ... stay tuned
