What are the effects of inflation and interest rates on Australia's housing market?

Описание: Are interest rates enough to control inflation? Australia's economy once lauded for its stability and strong growth potential, is now facing extreme economic strain. Inflation has been steadily climbing in recent months with the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) yet to take decisive action.

To shed some light on the current state of the economy, we have economist Warren Hogan joining our podcast. In today’s discussion, we cover a range of topics that are currently affecting the economy, such as the impact of the pandemic on the housing market, the rise of the working poor, and the lack of a cohesive approach from our governments. Warren also shares his insights on the effects of the super changes, the potential for a rental crisis, and the importance of understanding the risks associated with easy credit.
