No Real Wages Growth For You, Or You…

More from the Senate quizzing RBA Governor Lowe. He explains why wages “must” be contained and the focus is on nominal not real wages.

He also explains why the RBA is forecasting lower inflation – eventually.

The RBA Says Sorry… Sort Of!

RBA Governor Lowe was quizzed by Senate Estimates yesterday and conceded that the repeated statements of no interest rate rise until 2024 may have mislead some people. This was important, though the apology which followed was not a real one.

Worth reflecting on this when Lowe is due to end his current term, and possibly be considered for another.

This is a short, where Lowe is quizzed by Senator McKim. See 3.50 for the specific question and half apology!

How Far Will The Contempt Go? [Podcast]

This is an edited and updated version of a show originally posted on “In The Interests Of The People”, with Economist John Adams and I discussing the current ASIC inquiry being run in the Senate.

There were some answers provided last week to questions on notice about ASIC’s conduct in terms of trying to lobby to stop the inquiry.

But in late breaking news, and not covered in the earlier show, further questions and answers were posted late last Friday evening (putting the trash out?) demonstrating just how unwilling the Corporate Regulator is in terms of disclosure. Is this contempt?

The earlier IOTP show, where we also discuss how Crypto plays into this, is available here. https://youtu.be/JPoOyV3Mvis

China Provides More Stimulus To Support The Economy!

China looks like it will reduce the reserve requirement ratio (RRR), or the amount of cash that banks must hold in reserve, to shore up its slowing economy amid growing headwinds.

This is an attempt to stimulate the economy (reverse to Federal Reserve and other Western economies) by encouraging banks to lend harder to the property sector and in response to the COVID lock downs.

Question is of course is, will it work – or just slim the reserves of the banks some more….
