Former Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia
About Jeremy Stern
In the chaotic weeks after the 2008 global financial crisis, Jeremy Stern led the RBA’s emergency liquidity operations that kept Australia’s interbank market from freezing, a quiet but decisive intervention that avoided the kind of wholesale bank funding collapse seen overseas. He redesigned the Bank’s collateral framework to accept high-quality non-bank assets during stress, a pragmatic shift that later became embedded in APRA’s prudential standards. Unlike many central bankers of his generation, Stern prioritised transparency not just in communication but in operational design: he oversaw the first public release of real-time settlement data from the RBA’s payments system, enabling independent scrutiny of systemic risk build-up. His approach fused deep institutional memory of Australia’s 1990s banking reforms with acute awareness of how fintech and shadow banking were reshaping credit intermediation, always asking not whether a tool was novel, but whether it altered the transmission of monetary policy or the resilience of final settlement.
