A New Era for Interest Rates and the Global Economy
About this episode
The episode discusses the new era for interest rates and the global economy, featuring insights from various experts on the changing landscape.
The global economy is entering a new era, but what does that mean for interest rates, inflation and long-term growth? Host Mandy Drury speaks with CommBank Head of Market Strategy & Rates Research Adam Donaldson about the long-term forces reshaping interest rates. They discuss the rising neutral interest rate, the impact of AI investment, defence spending and the energy transition, and why central banks are facing a very different environment than they did over the past three decades. Mandy also speaks with CommBank Senior Geoeconomics Analyst Dr Madison Cartwright about the changing global order. They explore the end of the globalisation era, why governments are prioritising security over efficiency, and what a more fragmented world could mean for inflation, investment and economic growth. Plus, CommBank International & Sustainable Economist John Oh shares the key focuses for markets in the week ahead.
