Welcome to one hundred sixty eighth episode of #ExpatChat, Why Is the Australian Dollar Climbing? In this episode, Atlas Wealth Group’s Managing Directors James Ridley and Brett Evans unpack what’s driving the recent strength in the Australian dollar and what it means for Australians living and working overseas.

James and Brett break down the key forces behind the Aussie dollar pushing above 70 US cents, including Australia’s higher interest rate settings and growing expectations that the RBA may lift rates again to rein in inflation. They explore what a stronger currency means for expats moving money back to Australia, and why strategies like dollar cost averaging can help manage currency risk in uncertain markets. The conversation also dives into listener questions around tax residency, property ownership, and dual citizenship, offering practical, high-level guidance while highlighting when tailored advice really matters.
