Reserve Bank of Australia Deputy Governor Michele Bullock Q&A:

  • will be looking at monthly cpi, but will be lot of noise in figures
  • monthly cpi numbers are unlikely to have implications for October policy meeting
  • policy is not restrictive as yet, looking at opportunities to slow hikes at some point
  • Australia in a better position on inflation than some other countries
  • RBA is concerned about the health of China's economy, its zero covid policy and its property market
  • the outlook for the global economy is quite worrying
