This week, on Exchange, Belinda Allen Senior Economist at Commonwealth Bank joins us to break down the current state of the Australian economy, from the RBA’s interest rate decisions and inflation trends to shifting consumer behaviour and the hurdles facing fiscal and tax reform.
We explore what these factors mean for business investment, economic recovery, and the ongoing energy transition, as well as the pressing issue of housing affordability across different states.
