The Reserve Bank of Australia is the central bank of Australia. The bank sets the country's monetary policy and issues and manages the Australian dollar. The RBA is involved in banking and registry services for federal agencies and some international central banks. The bank, entirely owned by the Australian government, was established in 1960. Philip Lowe currently serves as Governor. He succeeded Glenn Stevens in 2016. The Reserve Bank of Australia manages the Australian dollar by setting the interest rate in overnight money markets. This interest rate filters through the rest of the financial system, affecting the rates at which banks will lend to businesses and consumers. The goal of the Reserve Bank of Australia is to set the interest rate low enough to promote maximum Australian employment and economic growth, but not so low that it sparks inflation above 2% to 3% per year.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/investment-terms--4432332/support.
