Westpac Economic Update

Westpac Economist Elliot Clarke comments on this week’s Governor Stevens speech on the Financial Stability Review with focus on business and consumer confidence and housing investment. Looking overseas, he comments on US growth and their housing market. Next week we have US payrolls, the ECB meeting; and in Australia – retail sales, international trade and the RBA meeting.

 

You can find more weekly economic updates from Bill Evans and his team on the Westpac website. Their forecasts are available every Friday at lunchtime, Sydney time.
