Population and migration are back in focus this week, with new figures set to shed light on one of the biggest economic and political debates in Australia - and the pressure on housing and living standards.

Michael Thompson is joined by economist Stephen Koukoulas to look at the balance between migration, skills and housing, and what population growth means for the economy on a per-person basis.

They also look ahead to the Reserve Bank’s appearance before a parliamentary committee, with another interest rate hike increasingly on the agenda, and explain why soaring global bond yields matter for governments, markets and investors.
