  • Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood says Australia is almost “grinding to a halt” due to its inflation.
    “Notwithstanding the fact that the economy is barely teetering above a recession right now with the last quarter just 0.1 of a per cent - in this quarter probably negative,” he told Sky News host Steve Price.
    “The reality is that you’d expect under normal circumstances the Reserve Bank would come to the rescue, start to cut interest rates and get some economic growth going - well it can’t do that right now.”

    Without a doubt, this year will be worse than the last. I lost a lot of money last year as a result of bad investment choices that I would not have made if I hadn't been so worried about my portfolio. I kept investing, but I couldn't determine whether to start paying for a house. In the end, I sold my positions, and the house needed more work than I had planned. I'm not sure how long I can keep going like this

    • @hohoho9982
      @hohoho9982 Před 21 dnem +6

      The truth is that the US Fed increased interest rates. Therefore, the Reserve Bank of Australia must also raise interest rates. However, the Reserve Bank of Australia cannot maintain interest rates at 5.5% like the Federal Reserve. So, the result is that the Australian dollar will depreciate faster than the US dollar, and the RBA will never be able to control inflation.
