Australia holds emergency call on coronavirus


SYDNEY: Australia’s financial regulators scheduled an emergency call to discuss the impact of the coronavirus outbreak, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, as the country looks to reduce the risk of recession.

The conference call, involving the country’s prudential regulator, markets watchdog and central bank, comes as markets now expect the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to cut its cash rate as early as today at its scheduled monthly review.
