The Review of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has today released 78 submissions received through its public submissions process.
The submissions are from a wide cross-section of the community, including from individuals and organisations that represent the interests of millions of Australians.
The Review Panel is grateful to the many people who have provided high quality and thoughtful submissions. These submissions will be a valuable resource as the Panel develops its recommendations to Government.
The published submissions are now available on the RBA Review website.
A number of submissions requested confidentiality, and these will not be published.
Separately from the public submissions process, the RBA and the Review are also publishing the Bank’s responses to questions asked by the Review. The RBA’s answers are available on the Review website and will also be available on the RBA’s website.
The release comes two weeks after the Review Panel made its first public statements about what it has heard during the consultation phase of the review process.
As well as the formal submissions, the Panel and Secretariat have interviewed more than 230 people, surveyed 1100 current and former RBA staff and conducted more than a dozen community and RBA staff focus groups.
The RBA Review was announced by the Treasurer Hon Dr Jim Chalmers in July 2022 and the final report is scheduled to be provided to him in March 2023.
