 An Economic Revolution Comes Late Down Under
==========

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is implementing a reform to hold press conferences after rate decisions, a practice that is common for central banks globally but was resisted by the RBA. This marks a significant change for the RBA, which had fallen behind best practices in communication. The new governor, Michele Bullock, will make her debut press conference following a rate decision on Tuesday. The RBA's move to embrace communication reflects the growing importance of talk as a critical part of monetary policy.
