Why NAB thinks rates will stay high until mid 2025

With a per capita recession currently underway, renters and mortgage holders are feeling the pinch. But the economy appears to be holding up better than expected in many areas, and inflation is still far from the target band. So what now?

NAB's Head of Australian Economics Gareth Spence joins the podcast to discuss:

• the outlook for inflation, unemployment and more
• why the distribution of economic pain isn’t equal
• which factors the RBA is keeping a close eye on, and
• why rates are likely to stay much higher than originally anticipated for a while to come.
