Today’s RBA Statement on Monetary Policy shows:
👉”The economy is recovering rapidly” & indicators “point to a strong recovery in the labour market.”
👉Strong growth of 5.5% in 2022
👉The unemployment rate is expected to fall to 4.25% compared to 5.7% when Labor left office.
Once again, the Australian economy has displayed its remarkable resilience.
