Description
In this episode, we unpack the Reserve Bank of Australia's May 2025 monetary policy statement. With domestic activity tracking as expected and inflation gradually easing, the RBA has now turned its attention to new global risks. Rising trade tensions, especially following the United States' recent tariff hikes, are casting a shadow over the global and domestic outlook. We explore why the Board chose to lower the cash rate target, what this means for businesses and consumers, and the alternative economic scenarios the RBA is now preparing for.
