December 12, 2024 Episode #139: The slowest rate of growth since the recession we 'had to have'
The pace of economic growth in Australia has been on a downtrend over the last two years and annual growth is at its lowest level since the early 1990s (outside of the pandemic). Despite population growth and strong public spending, the latest quarterly GDP figures pose several key questions for the Reserve Bank as we head into the holiday period.

Join Shane and Diana as they unpack the data, analyse why the economy has been struggling and ask whether we can continue to rely on the public sector to keep growth strong in the coming year.

December 02, 2024 Episode #138: What is the more sustainable trend in inflation?
The rise in the cost of living over the last four years remains a
persistent challenge for the RBA and the Australian economy. Inflation
continues to be too high with the trimmed mean rising to 3.5% while headline
inflation remains within target. But there is cause for optimism: the rate of
increase is slowing down, and the rate of services inflation in Australia is
lower than in other countries including the UK and seems likely to fall.
Join Shane and Diana to look at the current outlook for inflation in Australia and how we should treat the latest signals and economic indicators amid both seasonality and supply chain issues.
