Tuesday saw the seven-year reign end for the Reserve Bank Governor, Philip Lowe. Is it the beginning of a new era for the Australian financial system? I wouldn’t want to get your hopes up as I expect more of the same going forward. Governor Lowe’s final address was about how inflation in Australia may’ve peaked but high inflation is expected to persist. In other words, don’t expect a quick reprieve from high interest rates and the soaring cost of living. We’ll have to endure a while longer of tightening our belts and forgoing some nice-to-haves. How do you plan to go through such times?
