ABOUT THE EVENT
Business Forecasts & Trends
A recent Reserve Bank board meeting considered the inflation rate which has come down faster than expected, diving from 7.8% to 4.1% in the space of a year. Their target rate is 2-3%. They expect the rate to slow, and to not reach 3% until late 2025. Senior Economists agree that the slowing decline in inflation is as a result of supply chain pressures from conflict in the Middle East as well as a boost to household incomes from July tax cuts. The slowed growth may be matched by higher unemployment, leading to a “technical recession”. These trends and more will be discussed by our esteemed panel at our Business forecast Breakfast on Wednesday 26 June 2024. Join us to hear more about the changes and trends that will impact your business.
