Please find above the latest in MB’s primer presentation series, which are aimed at getting newer readers up to speed, as well as providing an easy-to-digest reference point on various topics.

Today’s presentation covers Australia’s household debt – a key theme that has been thrashed-out on MB over recent years. Watch as the MB Fund’s Tim Fuller and yours truly discuss Australia’s record household debt, how it compares globally, how it has come about, and the risks entailed therein.

I trust you will find this presentation interesting. In due course, we will create a landing page where all of MB’s primers can be accessed.
