Bill Evans, the former chief economist at Westpac Bank, passed away due to ineffective cancer treatment. His family issued an obituary confirming this news. The bank issued a family statement saying Evans passed away at a Melbourne hospital on Tuesday evening, which coincided with his 76th birthday. The family said, “Bill has achieved remarkable results in his decades-long career. With his unique opinions and honest conduct, he has made outstanding contributions to the development of the Australian economy and financial industry. He is extremely influential, gentle and considerate, but whenever he is present, the conversation revolves around him, and always makes the surrounding atmosphere warm and lively, and people will always remember him.” Evans is Australia's top market economist, and is particularly good at predicting inflection points in the Reserve Bank of Australia's monetary policy cycle. He stepped down as chief economist at Westpac Bank in 2023.
