Welcome to the one hundred and sixty-fourth episode of the #ExpatChat podcast and our final episode for 2025. In this end of 2025 wrap up, Atlas Wealth Group Managing Directors Brett Evans and James Ridley reflect on the key events that shaped the year and what Australian expats should be aware of heading into 2026.
Brett and James discuss the impact of ongoing geopolitical tensions involving Trump, and why 2026 may see markets shift from broad macroeconomic themes to a greater focus on company performance. They also explore Australia’s productivity challenges, the role of technology in closing the gap, and expectations for a more stable global market environment.
The episode addresses misinformation around proposed tax legislation, and looks ahead to the May 2026 Australian Federal Budget, due to potential policy changes flagged by the Prime Minister. Brett and James also share that 2026 will be a big year for Atlas Wealth Group, with several new initiatives planned and an expanded presence across more cities globally to better support Australian expats.
The discussion concludes with news of the launch of The Expat’s Handbook, the first book by Atlas Wealth Group’s Founder and Managing Director, Brett Evans, along with a reminder of the firm’s Christmas office closure.
Tune in for a clear, practical end of 2025 wrap up to help Australian expats start 2026 informed and prepared.

Expat Chat Episode 162 - What Will the Surprise Inflation Spike do to Markets
Welcome to the one hundred sixty second episode of the #ExpatChat podcast. We explore the latest tax, investment, and financial issues affecting #AustralianExpats. In this episode, Atlas Wealth Group Managing Director – EMEA, Brett Evans, and Financial Planner, Adam Prentice, unpack What Will the Surprise Inflation Spike do to Markets?
Brett and Adam first discuss Australia’s surprise inflation spike, which recently hit 3.8%, and then examine its potential effects on property shares, currency, and market expectations. They also analyse the housing sector’s growth alongside government policies contributing to the inflation spike, highlighting how these factors may shape upcoming RBA interest rate decisions. Furthermore, the discussion explores the broader impact on borrowing, property affordability, and equities, while offering Australian expats practical insights to navigate markets and make informed investment decisions amid the ongoing surprise inflation spike.
