Pausing for thought: rates and housing

from Making Money Easy Hosted by Gillian Bowen

So after 10 months of interest rates hikes - the Reserve Bank has decided to PAUSE. Find out the impact for the economy, consumers, renters and mortgage holders. One of our experts this episode worked at the RBA - find out why he thinks it's now suffering from 'confusion-driven paralysis'. Plus we reveal the economy crystal ball - did you know it's possible to see the future, find out where to look. And we examine the housing situation (shortages, prices, construction) in Australia. Hear why one of my experts thinks we're not building enough houses, building others in the wrong places and what's getting in the way. What can be done to help? The Centre for Independent Studies Chief Economist Peter Tulip, and Economy Editor, The Conversation and Crawford School of Public Policy Peter Martin join Gillian to explain.
