“Having not put interest rates up as much as their peers, inflation hasn’t come down as quickly but unemployment hasn’t risen as much as in the US, UK, Canada and NZ – so rates won’t come down by as soon or as much as in those countries,” he claimed.
The RBA choice will certainly come with 2:30 pm Tuesday, adhered to by an interview with Bullock.
