Q+A: Why are economists split on rates?
About this episode
The episode discusses the differing predictions among economists regarding future interest rate movements.
The outlook for interest rates is very different, depending on which economist you ask - some are predicting more rate hikes, while others say the next move will be down. So why is there such a major split? Sean Aylmer and Michael Thompson explore the cases for both arguments, and what the RBA might do.
