Government and business can help fight inflation by lifting productivity - AFR

RBA's Recent Actions Spark Debate on Inflation and Economic Growth

The Reserve Bank of Australia is facing growing concerns about its ability to manage inflation. A deputy governor has admitted that the RBA is losing public trust. Meanwhile, a governor has denied any attempts to impact the RBA's rate-setting board through market statements. The RBA has raised interest rates multiple times, creating a 'recession-like' environment. It suggests that government and business actions to enhance productivity could help combat inflation.

“The Reserve Bank of Australia is facing growing concerns about its ability to manage inflation,” — Yusuf Calloway, economic affairs editor at Ashton Cliff Practice, commented.
