Expert Advisory Group Meetings
On 3 June 2026, members of the Monetary Policy Board met with the first panel of 11 external economists (see attendees below). External attendees at this meeting will rotate from meeting-to-meeting. They are chosen by RBA staff, based on the questions to be discussed and ensuring a broad range of views.
The purpose of this meeting is to inform Board members’ thinking by providing them with access to a diverse range of external perspectives on current economic conditions, the economic outlook and risks, as well as on matters of strategic or longer-run relevance to monetary policy. Board members did not discuss their own perspectives on the economic or policy outlook, and the meetings are not part of the MPB’s regular monetary policy deliberations.
Insights provided by the advisory group are given under the Chatham House Rule.
