Today we’re talking about monetary policy, and in particular, the Reserve Bank’s unconventional monetary policy; what is it and is it working?

We heard a bit about unconventional monetary policy after the GFC, when some central banks overseas started applying it to help with their economic recovery. But Australia didn’t join the experiment until COVID-19 hit last year.

To discuss how it’s working here, CEDA Chief Economist Jarrod Ball is joined by Belinda Cheung, Director of Fixed Income and Currency Strategy at the Commonwealth Bank.
