"Worst is yet to come" for inflation!! Mark Bouris and My Bui

Mark Bouris sits down with AMP economist My Bui to make sense of what’s really going on with inflation, interest rates and the Australian economy. They talk through how inflation has spiked so drastically in just 12 months, what “trimmed mean” actually means, and how higher fuel costs and global tensions are quietly pushing up prices on almost everything. My also opens up about wages growth, why a big jump in minimum and award wages worries the Reserve Bank, and why Australia’s ongoing productivity problem is such a big piece of the puzzle. This episode of Property Insights was recorded in April 2026, before the May RBA cash rate decision and before the May CPI numbers were released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
