Hunter, who assumed her position as the overseer of economic analysis and research at the RBA, expressed her views on the current economic landscape during a panel discussion at a business summit in Sydney on Tuesday. In her first public statement since taking on this role in late January, she acknowledged that while interest rate hikes can pose challenges for certain households, inflation remains the primary obstacle.
Since May 2022, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has implemented 13 rate hikes to manage the rise in consumer prices following the post-pandemic period. The upcoming board meeting of the central bank is scheduled for next Tuesday, and it is widely anticipated that the RBA will maintain the current borrowing costs at a 12-year peak of 4.35% while evaluating the economic outlook.
"Regarding the latest economic releases, Hunter stated that the data aligns with our expectations. However, it doesn't mean that we are not actively monitoring and examining the situation. We will certainly review and revise our forecasts, and these updated projections will be made public in May."
