Season 7, Episode 11 – Australian Economic Update
In Episode 11 of the Expat Mortgage Podcast, Australian Economic Update, hosts Jeremy Harper and James Ridley unpack the latest RBA rate rise to 4.10% and what it signals for borrowers and investors. They explore how geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are driving inflation risks—particularly through rising energy prices—while highlighting a more divided RBA outlook, with a narrow 5–4 vote reflecting growing uncertainty. The discussion also covers mixed economic data, including rising unemployment driven by part-time job growth, shifting fixed-rate dynamics, and what expats should consider when deciding between fixed and variable loans. Ultimately, they emphasise the importance of budgeting, flexibility, and making informed financial decisions amid a rapidly changing economic environment.
