Earlier this week I sat down with AMP’s Deputy Chief Economist Diana Mousina to hear her reflections as we close the financial year and what’s to come.

Lots of people are doing it tough with rising interest rates and inflation, and the economic volatility doesn’t look like it’s going away soon. A really insightful chat with Diana where we touch on household spending, a potential recession in Australia and what the economic environment means for homeowners, workers, and retirees. A key takeaway for me is to maintain optimism and look through the noise – green shoots are on the horizon. Thanks again Diana for a great conversation.
