Malcolm Edey: The risk environment and the property sector Speech by Mr Malcolm Edey, Assistant Governor (Financial System) of the Reserve Bank of Australia, at the Australian Property Institute’s Queensland Property Conference, Gold Coast, 6 November 2015. *  *  *  Thanks for the opportunity to speak to you today.
This being a conference of the property industry, I expect you will want to hear me say something about the Australian property market. I will come to that a bit later in the speech. First, though, I want to provide some context for that by talking about the financial and economic environment more broadly.
