SYDNEY Australia's central bank will get a new specialist board to manage monetary policy that will be chaired by the governor but have independent expert members with more power over the setting of interest rates. A review of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) released on Thursday also recommended the central bank have a dual mandate of price stability and full employment, while maintaining its flexible inflation target of 2-3%. Importantly for market confidence, the RBA's Monetary Policy Board (MPB) would retain its independence from government, which is giving up its power to overrule decisions on rates.

PRAGUE - Ukraine strongly opposes the imposition of any restrictions on the import of its grain by neighbouring countries after a European Union ban ends on Sept. 15, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Monday. After the Russian invasion blocked Ukraine's Black Sea ports, large quantities of the country's grain - which is cheaper than EU crops - stayed in Central Europe due to logistical bottlenecks, hitting prices and sales for local farmers. The EU in May allowed Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia to ban domestic sales of Ukrainian wheat, maize, rapeseed and sunflower seeds until Sept.
