#InterestRate in #Australia averaged 3.84 percent from 1990 until 2023, reaching an all time high of 17.50 percent in January of 1990 and a record low of 0.10 percent in November of 2020. Australians aren't the only ones facing rising interest rates. Here's how other countries compare.
Int rate rises don’t impact the people that have equity so the RBA only tool: ‘interest rates’ won’t work.
So this gov. is going to have 2 interest rate increases and recession by Xmas, and it will be on them. #auspol #interestrate

Increased #corporate #profits were the cause of nearly half of the #eurozone #inflation in the last two years (IMF data).
So we need, in order of effectiveness a combination of #publicownership , #pricecontrols or at least #windfalltax . Not doctrinaire #Interestrate rises that may well drive the zone into #recession. Again.

Philip Lowe (RBA) disgusts me - he should be sacked. He is crucifying mortgage holders and ordinary Australians in the name of fighting inflation. But the the real drivers of inflation are corporate greed and the profiteering of these and the banks. He is looking after the banks, that’s all this prick is doing and the government is supporting this glaring stupidity. You can’t believe a word Lowe says just look at his track record

Washington State enacted a 7% capital gains tax levied on annual profits in excess of $250,000, and made a *fortune*, $600m more than projected in the first year, despite a 25% drop in the stock market and blistering #InterestRate hikes:

@David_Moscrop love the close:
The simplistic but intuitive conflation of sovereign and household debt is #misinformation and you also show how #FiscalPolicy can address #inflation by spurring supply. High #InterestRate #MonetaryPolicy is a #GuaranteedIncome scheme for those who have #money while strangling the #economy. The cure is worse than the disease.

I, for one, am choosing to ring out 2022 with a committed #YOLO (“You only live once”) mindset. That’s despite the rather worrying prospect of my #homeloan #interestrate roughly tripling mid-next year (via SMH, bypass paywall by opening link in private tab)
