On 16th April, 2024 - we host a live webinar with Nerida Conisbee, Chief Economist at Ray White and looked at potential trends in the economic market which could affect strategy in the local government space.

Expert Forecast on Inflation
Inflation remains stubbornly above Reserve Bank's target band despite a slight easing from its peak last year. With rates unlikely to drop in the near future, pressure for rising costs persists.
