Interview with Kathleen Hays, Bloomberg
Date
KATHLEEN HAYS:
I want to start on the independent review of the Reserve Bank of Australia because it seems like it's due anytime now. It could include things like more meetings every year - or fewer, I should say; a press conference after every meeting. Bottom line: are you close, have you set a date, are you ready, have you made up your mind?

SABRA LANE:
The Federal Government has promised cost‑of‑living relief in next month's Budget. Ahead of that, the Treasurer Jim Chalmers along with the Reserve Bank chief Philip Lowe are in Washington right now for a number of important meetings with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Mr Chalmers joined me earlier.

Joining me now is Treasurer Jim Chalmers. Good morning to you, our time. Well, earlier this week, you told Nat that you're confident Australia will avoid a recession. But how are we impacted if a global recession occurs as the IMF is warning?

PETER STEFANOVIC:
Let's go live to Washington DC, now. Joining us is the Treasurer Jim Chalmers. Treasurer, good to see you. Thanks for your time. So you've arrived as inflation in the US drops to about five per cent. That's getting better but the global scene is still precarious as rates rise. So what have you learned so far while you've been there?

Treasurer Jim Chalmers is in Washington DC. Treasurer, good morning to you. I can almost see you in those baggy jeans hitting up City Rowers back in the day. How real though is the recession threat for us right now?
