The OECD has upgraded its forecast for global economic growth in 2018 by 0.1 per cent, to 3.7 per cent. However, Australia’s economic growth outlook remains unchanged, although the OECD noted the nation’s high housing prices. The Reserve Bank’s assistant governor, Luci Ellis, is also upbeat about the global economic outlook, noting that global growth should continue for some time in the absence of any major risk factors. Meanwhile, the ANZ Bank anticipates two increases in the cash rate during 2018.
