We ran out live stream event last night. During the session we
discussed our revised scenarios, taking account of the complex local and
international backdrop.
Using a baseline of July 2018, and looking ahead this is how it plays
out. The risks from an international crisis have risen, the RBA itself
is now projecting higher unemployment so lower wages growth, and the
iron ore price is falling. Business and consumer confidence is being
eroded, and the fall-out from the high-rise construction fiasco are only
just starting to play out.
There is a path to property values rising, but we think this is relatively short lived.
