Treasurer Jim Chalmers says the federal government undertook a “very robust and very consultative” process to select the members of the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) two new boards, which will come into effect on 1 March 2025.
Professor Renee Fry-McKibbin and former Bendigo Bank CEO Marnie Baker will join four of the RBA’s current external board members on the new interest-rate setting board, which will also include governor Michele Bullock, deputy governor Andrew Hauser and Treasury secretary Steven Kennedy.
Current board members Carol Schwartz and Elana Rubin will join the RBA’s governance board.
