Monetary Stimulus in Australia
Australia's central bank took the first steps toward winding back emergency monetary stimulus for an economy that has exceeded forecasts. Governor Philip Lowe opted against extending the yield-target horizon and scaled back purchases of longer-dated bonds, the Reserve Bank said in a statement on Tuesday after keeping interest rates unchanged. Once the current A$5 billion a week quantitative easing programme ends in September, it will shift to A$4 billion a week with a review in mid-November. RBA is determined to stay near the tail of global central banks unwinding emergency stimulus -- particularly the Fed -- even as Australia has recovered earlier and faster than many peers.
