RBA Warnings
Yesterday, the Reserve Bank of Australia’s deputy governor Guy Debelle gave a speech. He addressed the current news from the US-China conflict.
Debelle met with the Economic Society of Australia in Canberra on the morning of August 27. The Australian official addressed the country’s current trading performance and other foreign liabilities.
According to Debelle, despite some of the flaws in the system, it has still delivered some benefits for global welfare and growth.
Debelle also said that the foreign debt liabilities are the nation’s vulnerabilities, but he added that Australians shouldn’t be concerned about this.
His comment comes after the RBA’s governor Philip Lowe’s comment over the weekend. Lowe, along with other officials from major central banks met at the US for their meeting.
In the meeting, the RBA governor pointed out that monetary policies are being used to absorb the pressure from economic shocks.
