After peaking at 5.5%, the Official Cash Rate (OCR) has now been cut to 3.00%—and markets are pricing in more to come. But is that enough to bring inflation under control and steer the economy back to “normal”? What does a rising or falling OCR really mean for households, businesses, and investors? And what might influence where rates go from here?
Predicting interest rate moves is no easy task—especially when working with delayed and incomplete data. In this webinar, we’ll explore how economists navigate uncertainty, sift through market noise, and shape their forecasts. We’ll also dig into what it takes to hold a non-consensus view, how to handle getting it wrong, and what our panel are watching most closely in the year ahead.
