Reserve Bank holds rates amid economic concerns

Matt Grudnoff on economic impacts, interest rates, housing reforms and market dynamics

As economic growth slows and unemployment edges higher, scrutiny is mounting over the Reserve Bank’s decision to keep interest rates on hold.

Could delaying rate cuts place further pressure on households and businesses already feeling the squeeze?

Matt Grudnoff from the Australia Institute unpacks the economic outlook, examining how investment strategies may shift, why housing reform remains politically contentious, and whether current tax changes are delivering benefits where they are needed most.

The conversation also explores the risks of falling property prices, the growing influence of lobby groups, global market uncertainty linked to Donald Trump, and how changing Senate numbers could alter the path of key economic reforms.
