Is Australia set for a soft or hard landing in 2024?
The RBA has granted a festive reprieve for mortgage holders, keeping interest rates on hold in line with expectations after inflation continued to slow. The year 2023 was characterised by a period dominated by inflation risk, geopolitics and monetary tightening. Will these economic conditions persist in the new year?
In the final episode of The Rate Debate for 2024, Jessica Ren and I discuss our outlook on the global economy, share our views on whether we can expect a hard or soft landing, and explain why now is a good time to own fixed income.
