An early start for Glenn Stevens today. He is in Melbourne to speak at the Melbourne Institute 2015 Economic and Social Outlook Conference

He is speaking as part of a discussion on:

  • Policy-makers aspire to change the world for the better, but the gaps between aspiration and implementation can be large. What do we know about successful policy implementation?

Of course, we'll be on the alert for comments on the economic and monetary policy outlook. the latest communication from Stevens was his statement accompanying the policy decision on Tuesday

While the statement concluded with "the outlook for inflation may afford scope for further easing of policy, should that be appropriate to lend support to demand" I assessed the statement as somewhat less dovish than I thought it would have been.
