“Reserve Bank of Australia governor Glenn Stevens has indicated he wants an Aussie dollar closer to 85 US cents, while pointing to ‘promising signs’ that the economy is transitioning away from the mining boom.  But he said that turning the lower currency into a real depreciation that spurs growth would require real wage cuts.  ‘I thought [US]85 cents would be closer to the mark than [US]95 cents . . .but really, I don’t think we can be that precise.  I just think that if things over the medium term evolve as we’re presently assuming – and I think it’s reasonable to make these assumptions – it’s going to be surprising if a nine at the front is the right number,’ he said.”
