The new Reserve Bank Governor seems to tick all the boxes.  

Dr Anna Breman has been announced as the next Governor, taking over from Christian Hawkesby in December. 

She was the First Deputy Governor of Sweden’s central bank, and was selected from more than 300 candidates that were initially identified. 

Economist Cameron Bagrie told Francesca Rudkin that Breman is going to be laser focused on the key priorities, including delivering low and stable inflation. 

He says they’re going to go back to basics as the epicentre of any central bank is credibility – credibility of the framework, the governor, and the governance.
