The Q4 National accounts are hot off the presses, showing 0.5% of economic growth in Q4 2019, higher than analyst predictions.

In today’s webinar, hear from MB Fund’s Head of Investment Damien Klassen, Chief Economist Leith van Onselen and Head of Operations Tim Fuller, as they cover “Australian Economy: Calm before the storm”

Topics include why we forecast Australia’s first recession in 29 nears occurring in Q1&Q2 of 2020, weak private sector growth in 2019, GDP being propped-up by NDIS & NBN which are set to roll off by June 2020, stagnating household income, what the external Coronavirus shock will do to the Australian housing market and wider economy, and as always our investment outlook, including how we’re allocating assets during these turbulent times
