Topic 

“An Economic Outlook”

 Its been an interesting twelve months.

 We’ve experienced the first global economic recession in almost 25 years, but it’s over.  We’ve lived through 11 September, which had severe economic effects, although less than seemed likely immediately after the event. 

The Australian economy has grown well, driven partly by a housing boom that is now fading.  Interest rates have risen. 

The Budget has come and gone - and hardly anyone noticed.

So where are we headed? 

Will the Australian economy continue to grow well?  

For how long will the labour market improve? 

How high will interest rates rise? 

Will we ever get to the next recession?  

Dr Caton will answer some of these questions and

give his views about major financial markets.
