Veteran Westpac economist Bill Evans dies at 76 as tributes flow
The news: Highly respected former Westpac chief economist Bill Evans –– the “man who moves markets” –– has passed away at the age of 76.
Evans, who spent 32 years at the helm of Westpac’s economics team, died overnight on his 76th birthday at The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne after a hard-fought battle with cancer.
