RBA Governorship in Transition as Treasurer Weighs Options

Treasurer Jim Chalmers must decide whether to extend Governor Philip Lowe's term or appoint a new RBA leader.
Potential candidates include RBA Deputy Governor Michele Bullock, Finance Dept. Secretary Jenny Wilkinson, and Treasury Secretary Stephen Kennedy.
The governor oversees monetary policy, payment systems, and responds to economic challenges.
Lowe has overseen falling wages, rate hikes, record GDP declines and growth, and quantitative easing.
Speeches show Lowe as an optimistic leader focused on opportunities for Australia's economy.
