As we start to close out the year that was, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has just released its last official cash rate for 2022!
As global economic outlook shifts to a more “positive” note with the US and Australia seeming to have escaped a recession, have we just received another early Christmas present from the RBA?
Tune in to find out if the cash rate has been paused for the first time in 7 months, plus Ben unpacks these key themes in this month’s economic update:
- The slowing of interest rate hikes in the US
