When Philip Lowe took the helm at Australia’s central bank in 2016, his then-15-year-old daughter asked him what intended to do to ensure women had equal chances to advance at the nation’s premier economic institution.
As Lowe clocks out for the last time on Friday and hands over the reigns to Michele Bullock — the first female governor of the Reserve Bank — he can tell his daughter that he’s done his share. Women accounted for 36% of managers at the RBA as of June 2022, from 31% when Lowe took over. Three of the central bank’s assistant governors now are women, compared with just one seven years ago.
During his term, Lowe bolstered the number of female executives, deepened the pool of women candidates, and also sought to reverse the trend of a shrinking pipeline of female economists in Australia. “We’ve had a number of women elevated to senior leadership positions in Australia, not just in economics, and this might just be a key turning point,” according to Deda.
The elevation of women to senior ranks in central banking reflects a global trend with the US Federal Reserve now boasting its most diverse leadership team in history. The European Central Bank is also led by former French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde.
