Rodda says the combination is adding to inflationary pressures and keeping interest rates elevated, as strong demand collides with rising costs and supply constraints.

He warns Australia’s weaker economic fundamentals could make the challenge more difficult, leaving households and businesses exposed to continued inflation and higher borrowing costs.
