SYDNEY (Reuters) – Australia’s economy is set up for interest rate cuts in 2024 and a “soft landing” after a lengthy period of inflation, Macquarie Group (OTC:MQBKY) CEO Shemara Wikramanayake said on Monday.
The country’s unemployment rate was just below its pre-COVID level and inflation had slowed, Wikramanayake noted at the Australian Financial Review Business Summit.
“Central bankers seem to be getting to a point where they can now reduce rates later this year and deliver that soft landing that really none of us were forecasting,” she said.
