About this episode

The episode discusses the RBA's recent rate hike and its implications for the Australian economy, featuring insights from ANZ's Adam Boyton.

The Reserve Bank of Australia hikes with hawkish tones, but ANZ Research says that should be it this cycle. And flat New Zealand jobs data today may not mark the end of rising unemployment. In our deep-dive interview, ANZ Head of Australian Economics Adam Boyton analyses the RBA’s latest forecasts and commentary for clues on whether there’s going to be another hike.
