Christopher Kent: Some features of the Australian fixed income market

Address by Mr Christopher Kent, Assistant Governor (Financial Markets) of the Reserve Bank of Australia, at the Australian Government Fixed Income Forum 2018, Tokyo, 6 June 2018.

The views expressed in this speech are those of the speaker and not the view of the BIS.

I'd like to thank the Australian Office of Financial Management for the opportunity to address the forum here in Tokyo. Today I'll discuss some of the interesting features of the Australian fixed income market and how that market has evolved over the years.
