The Australian Government’s Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook had forecast GDP growth of 2.5 per cent in 2014-15. This is expected to be scaled back in the May 2015 Budget, but Treasurer Joe Hockey has downplayed suggestions by Macroeconomics’ Stephen Anthony that there is the potential for a recession in 2016. Meanwhile, Hockey is confident that the Government can keep the unemployment rate at no more than 6.5 per cent, compared with 6.2 per cent at present.
