It’s great to be back at the KangaNews Summit. Last year I discussed the Reserve Bank’s move to quantitative tightening (QT). Today I’ll provide a brief update on the unwinding of our unconventional policies before turning to more conventional monetary policy issues, which will be the focus of my presentation. We are currently pursuing passive QT, whereby we allow our holdings of government bonds to roll off as they mature. The next maturity of substance is $13 billion of the April 2023 Australian Government bond. Some central banks have slowed QT by reinvesting some of their maturing bonds; others have done the opposite, pushing QT along by selling bonds well ahead of maturity. While QT will contribute to a moderate decline in our balance sheet over the next few years, the roll-off of the Bank’s Term Funding Facility (TFF) will lead to a sizeable reduction in our balance sheet this year and next (Graph 1). post at 6:05pm: RBA'S KENT: BOARD WILL RESPOND AS NECESSARY TO BRING INFLATION BACK TO TARGET IN A REASONABLE TIME #News #Markets #RBA #INFLATION #capitalhungry post at 6:07pm: RBA's Kent: Likely To Take Longer Than Usual To See The Full Effect Of Higher Interest Rates On Households

Japan's economy, despite being affected by factors such as high commodity prices, has picked up as the resumption of economic activity has progressed while public health has been protected from COVID-19. It is likely to recover, with the impact of COVID-19 and supply-side constraints waning, although it is expected to be under downward pressure stemming from high commodity prices and slowdowns in overseas economies. Japan's economy has been resilient on the whole. Firms have been positive about making business fixed investment and private consumption has been on a recovery trend. On the other hand, exports have been somewhat weak recently; while this seems to be partly attributable to the timing of the Lunar New Year holidays in China, attention needs to be paid to developments in exports, together with developments in overseas economies. The fact that firms' outlook for the long-term domestic economic growth rate has risen warrants attention as a positive development. In addition, with this rise, firms' business fixed investment is likely to remain solid. post at 7:51pm: BOJ MARCH MEETING SUMMARY OF OPINIONS: BOJ MUST PATIENTLY MAINTAIN MONETARY EASING UNTIL PRICE TARGET IS ACHIEVED #News #Markets #BOJ #capitalhungry post at 7:53pm: BoJ Summary: Expect Distortion In Yield Curve To Be Ironed Out As Market Interest Rate Expectations Stabilise
