How is Australia Actually Going? Housing, Productivity & the Economy with Diana Mousina

Описание: The Australian economy looks steady on paper- low unemployment, inflation is off its peak and markets have held up. But talk to most Australians and it’s a very different story.

So we sat down with Deputy Chief Economist at AMP, Diana Mousina, to unpack why the data says we’re “okay” while households feel stretched.

We hear Diana’s take on what’s driving this disconnect across; housing and interest rates, productivity and wages. Plus, her outlook for where the Australian economy (and markets) are heading next.
