The economy is rising faster than expected and with wages only rising 2.2% in 2021 they will wait for 3% wages growth and inflation sustainably within their 2-3% target range before lifting rates.

  • After falling below $US 70c for the first time in a year, the Aussie dollar has risen to $US 71c.
  • The IMF has put pressure on Treasurer Frydenberg to undertake serious tax reform including cutting the corporate tax rate, increasing and/or broadening GST whilst compensating low-income earners and switching from stamp suty to an annual land tax to encourage people to move for jobs.
  • The latest Ray White Now is out with Nerida Conisbee providing great advice on Why to Sell in Summer.
