You’re probably thinking “so far, so good” on rate rises and the economy.

No evidence yet of a sharp slow-down and fixed mortgage holders seem to be adjusting ok to higher rates, partly due to strong employment.

But we're only halfway through the six-month fixed-rate cliff period, points out Pendal’s head of government bond strategies TIM HEXT in this latest fast podcast.

“It's definitely too early to say there hasn't been any significant damage,” Tim says.

What’s next then?

It's 'so far, so good' on rates and the economy. But what's next?

The Albanese government is getting ready to launch Australia’s first sovereign green bonds, which are designed to fund public net-zero projects.

As with all new green bond issuances, investors will be looking to make a good return and a positive impact.

When it comes to positive impact, investors should be looking “additionality” in the projects funded by Albo's green bonds, say Pendal’s head of credit and sustainable strategies George Bishay and ESG credit analyst Murray Ackman.

In other words, projects that bring about real step-change.

Here George and Murray explain more about green bonds and what investors should be looking for.

Green bonds: What are they and how do you choose the right ones?

The RBA seems happy that inflation is heading in the right direction, but it’s a difficult path from here to the 2-3% band, notes Pendal’s head of government bond strategies Tim Hext.

A soft landing is more likely, but we're unlikely to see rates cuts unless the economy turns weaker. 

Here's a quick overview from Pendal portfolio manager Tim Hext, who heads up government bond strategies for our Income and Fixed Interest team.
