@MHReddell Ah..didn't notice is before. Thank you

@CentralbkIntel Two assistant governors (direct reports to the Governor): Kate Kolich a few weeks ago and now Simone Robbers

Another top RB manager leaves with no specific role to go to. Getting to be a bit like ten green bottles…. rbnz.govt.nz/hub/news/2025/…

@MHReddell Who is the second deputy to resign? Sorry, I missed that.

Governor and two of his deputies have resigned, none with a job to go to, in just 6 weeks.

@_mumbling_me @MHReddell I am not suggesting there was a misconduct. Just saying that is a possibility and it can be anything, including the ones you mentioned.

@CentralbkIntel @MHReddell Is the misconduct: * Cutting too much? * Cutting too less? * Expensed a flat-white on company card?

I guess we can see why Orr is technically on leave for the rest of Mar rather than resigning effective today. The whole "throw your toys" resignation must have happened v quickly, so hard for the board to immediately recommend someone (&MoF to decide) as temp Gov for 6-9mths

@Uber_Australia You refunded me $4.40 for toll route I didn't take today but refuse to do that for Nov 5 trip where you charged me similarly. How do you explain this? And why should I not fight for $4.40?

@Uber_Support Just messaged

@CentralbkIntel We'd like to take a look into this, Sophia. Please send us a PM/DM with the email and/or phone number associated with your account, along with the trip details, so we can take a look.

@Uber_Australia You keep charging me for toll when I don't use it. In the past I have received refund but today I am unable to because your AI is very sure I used the toll route. Does this mean you are stealing my $4.40?

And of course @SenatorRennick wants all our gold to be brought and stored here 😀

@MHReddell @SenatorRennick Don't think anything has changed between India and the UK, and yet they have done it. I am not suggesting we should do the same but some might think the idea is worth considering.

@CentralbkIntel @SenatorRennick I would have thought only if there was a plausible likelihood of Aus and the UK being deeply at odds in some major conflict.

Will this put pressure on #RBA to do the same? @SenatorRennick you might want to comment on your favorite topic RBI Moves 100 Tonnes Gold From UK To Its Vaults In India …dia-indiatimes-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/timesofind…

David's option B. Daughter will be ready for Bollywood soon 😂😂 She looks lovely in the Indian outfit.

When will David be signed for a Bollywood, Tollywood etc movie? I am pretty sure he is dying for it.

@parrapower2022 Haha...so true. I live in the false belief that I am the "smart" one but the property portfolios are owned by everyone around me, except the "smart" me.

Sorry, i haven't met any economist with a large property portfolio. But my plumber and electrician both got a large property portfolio.

As we celebrate return of Ram Lalla do you want to know how it was in 1990s at the peak of Ram Janmabhoomi movement. My novel The Friendless God captures mood through Ram bhakta hero Kodanda. Pls read and review amazon.in/Friendless-God…

@matt_barrie Surely you know GDP per capita is an average, and the top end of the range can be as high as Australia?

Still don't understand how they expect migrants coming in from countries with a GDP per capita of $1.2 - 6k per annum will buy any of this.

Cannot ignore my love for the land of my birth, so rooting for India in the finals today. Australia you have my love and my close-second support. #ICCWorldCupFinal #INDvsAUSfinal

@Trader_Bran @elerianm Finally, I found someone who understands soft-landing.

@elerianm Markets wants a soft-landing and a rate cut cycle.....Cant have both. 1995 was only soft-landing in history and the the Fed cut twice and paused for a year! Market pricing is for 100bp cuts in 2024 and 90bp more in 2025. Market doesnt quite understand a soft-landing....

With lower #oil prices being part of the narrative, #markets are pricing in even deeper Fed rate cuts for 2024 in the context of a soft landing for the economy. The strengthening market conviction for this #growth-#inflation scenario is aggressively brushing aside uncertainties about the level of the neutral rate, cumulative effects of past rates, and inflation dynamics … as well as the stated aversion of the #Fed to risk a “stop-go” rate cycle. #econtwitter

Feeling nostalgic watching the train line next to Wankhede Stadium. That was my daily commute during my working years in Mumbai...almost every time the train passed the stadium, I would look to see if I can catch a glimpse of some cricket #ICCWorldCup #ind

So we finally have chatter of an external candidate for #RBA deputy governor position. @JustinWolfers How many more days until we know if it will be Kent or Wolfers? Or does anyone know of more names in the mix?

@aDottore @MarkDiStef What do I say! A general comment: Making bad calls is ok. What is not ok is consistently misstating facts.

@MarkDiStef @CentralbkIntel

Mark Bouris keeps getting blindsided by RBA interest rate calls. But people keep listening to him because he's that rich guy on the TV. The fact is all he's doing is talking his own book. Tomorrow's column. afr.com/rear-window/ma…
