Open Discussion: Where is the Australian Economy Headed & What Do We Do?

Australia is at a critical economic crossroads. Inflation has eased but cost-of-living pressures remain, interest rates continue to shape household and business decisions, housing affordability is a growing concern, and global uncertainty is reshaping trade, investment, technology, and jobs. So where is the Australian economy headed over the next few years? Are we facing a period of slow growth, a productivity revival, or something in between? What opportunities and risks should Australians be preparing for, and what practical actions can individuals, businesses, investors, and policymakers take to build a stronger and more prosperous future? Join us for an engaging and interactive Sydney Open Forum discussion where participants will explore: The outlook for inflation, interest rates, and economic growth. Housing affordability and the future of the property market Productivity, innovation, and the impact of AI and emerging technologies Jobs, wages, skills, and workforce transformation. Australia's place in an increasingly complex global economy Energy transition, climate policy, and economic competitiveness. Practical strategies for households, entrepreneurs, investors, and communities. This is not a lecture or a partisan debate.
