Australia's property wealth is shrinking

from SBS News In Depth

Australia’s residential property wealth has fallen for the first time in four years, helping push consumer confidence deeper into pessimistic territory. In this episode of SBS On the Money, Ricardo Gonçalves speaks with Matt Hassan, Senior Economist at Westpac, about what the housing downturn means for homeowners, spending and interest rates. The Australian sharemarket also hits a six-week low, with Stuart Roberts from Stocks Down Under unpacking the market moves, while a weaker French wine harvest could soon mean higher prices for champagne as wine economist Kym Anderson tells Tom Kennedy.
