What do Australians think about the RBA and why does it matter? 💬

We sat down with Peter Rickards, co-author of the latest Bulletin article 'Listening to Australians: A New RBA Survey of the Community' to discuss findings from the Bank's new survey, which has heard from people all across Australia since launching in early 2025.

The survey reveals that awareness of the RBA is high but there are important knowledge gaps about how interest rates work to bring inflation down. Public trust in the RBA has been stable but it varies across the community.

👉 You can explore the survey results and learn what we're doing to strengthen communication and engagement with the Australian community: https://ow.ly/Fl8k50ZrP9j
