Description

This week the Reserve Bank kept interest rates on hold, that was a shock for the industry, but the most surprising thing? For the first time, they told us the board didn’t agree. Six said hold, three said cut. Why does that matter? Because we know the room is divided and that changes everything.  

Guests:

Nicki Hutley - Senior economist and chief economist at all manner of financial institutions

Michael Pascoe - Writes for Michael West Media.
