RBA: RBA Deputy Governor Guy Debelle spoke early Tuesday morning, in a speech
titled "the state of the labour market."
- Debelle set out his baseline expectations, noting that he believes that
employment growth will be a little above trend over the next 6 months. Debelle
also pointed to the vacancy rate, which he identified as high, relative to the
current size of the labour force.
- On the broader economic front, Debelle believes that above average GDP growth
will result in a gradual reduction in spare capacity, which will lead to a
gradual increase in both wages & inflation.
- On future dynamics of the labour market, Debelle suggested that unemployment
may fall further than it has done in previous instances before wages pick up.
