Did you think when the Reserve Bank started lifting rates in May last year - we'd have 10 in a row? This episode of Making Money Easy dives into the March hike, how economists feel about the multiple lifts and what did the the RBA Governor mean exactly when he said 'we are closer to the point where it will be appropriate to pause interest rate increases to allow more time to assess the state of the economy.' We dive into data from Australia's biggest bank to see how customers are doing and find out what ELSE is going on in the economy that's worth knowing about BESIDES interest rates. Think population growth, China reopening and the return of foreign students. Barrenjoey Chief Economist Jo Masters and CommBank Senior Economist Belinda Allen join Gillian to explain.
