Infometrics Chief Executive and Principal Economist Brad Olsen and Chief Forecaster Gareth Kiernan break down the current economic environment and the pre-election outlook. With the General Election less than a month away, and polls showing a rising possibility of a change of government, Brad and Gareth discuss some of the key election trends, and what it might mean for our economic forecasts. They also detail how current economic outcomes might be influencing public views, as well as dissecting the Pre-Election Economic and Fiscal Update (PREFU) from Treasury, and outline what the various fiscal trends mean for the economy and for political parties.
