About this episode
The episode discusses the RBA's cautious stance, economic impacts from diesel prices, and features an interview with Khoon Goh on Asia's economic resilience.
The Reserve Bank of Australia’s minutes indicate a wait-and-see approach following this month’s hike. Higher diesel prices squeeze New Zealand firm profit margins, and the Bank of Japan looks set to hike after stronger-than-expected Q1 growth. In our deep-dive interview, ANZ Head of Asia Research Khoon Goh explains how the global data centre boom is helping Asia’s economies outside of China and India sail through the headwinds from the ‘liberation Day tariffs and Iran Conflict turmoil.
