Summary
Australia’s economy grew 2.1% last year, but economists are already eyeing another interest rate hike—despite rising costs and falling real wages. Public confidence is plummeting, with nearly six in ten Australians saying the country’s headed wrong. The real problem? Stagnant productivity for a decade, holding back growth while inflation stubbornly clings above target. Experts predict one more rate hike, then possible cuts next year—but higher rates may linger. AI is being touted as a fix, but it’s not a silver bullet; Australia still lags in adopting new tech, leaving structural change as the real challenge.
