Why Inflation Isn’t Dying - What the RBA Will Do that Property Investors Must Understand. Ken Raiss
Ken Raiss and Michael Yardney dissect why Australia’s inflation remains stubborn despite recent easing, pointing to entrenched supply‑side constraints rather than solely government spending. They explain the Reserve Bank of Australia’s dilemma: keeping policy rates elevated to curb capacity‑driven price pressures while avoiding a hard landing for households. The hosts argue that traditional CPI metrics mask the true cost of living, urging investors to focus on A‑grade properties in high‑demand locations. They also suggest that disciplined deficits aimed at productive investment can support growth without destabilising the property market.
