43:34Now PlayingThe Reserve Bank of Australia is navigating a complex economic landscape. Policymakers have lifted interest rates three times this year to counter a global energy shock stemming from the Iran war, fully unwinding the easing delivered in 2025 that had been aimed at bringing inflation back down to its 2-3% target brand.
As assistant governor, Dr. Christopher Kent plays a central role in advising the RBA Board and monitoring how policy moves flow through markets and the broader economy. With further tightening still possible — even as growth slows and unemployment rises — he is steering market operations through a period of heightened global volatility.
Reuters Australia Economics Correspondent Stella Qiu will speak with Kent at the LSEG Insight Series Sydney event just two days after the RBA's August policy decision to discuss shifting financial conditions. They'll talk about whether rates have peaked, how the bank is balancing inflation risks against a cooling economy, and what's next for the Australian dollar and global markets.
