RBA to Release Documents in Bribery Probe, Governor Says

Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens said the bank is compiling documents relating to allegations of bribery at its note-printing units and will make them public once it receives court approvals.

The bank plans to submit the documents, which include a 2007 report from the Freehills law firm that concluded no Australian laws were broken at Note Printing Australia Ltd., to a parliamentary panel “at the earliest opportunity,” Stevens said today in his semi-annual testimony before the economics committee in Canberra, where the bank’s views on interest rates and the economy usually dominate the discussion.
