Economic outlook

Economic outlook 2015 Mixed national economic outlook Pessimism outweighing optimism - future cloudy- but a glimmer of hope? Reserve Bank increasingly bearish on near-term direction of economy International economy wavering? Growth in China remains relatively strong but signs of fading international economy US economy continues to slowly revive but real growth (wages) still too low AUD to fall as USD rises Mixed results for local economies NSW solid growth trend top performer as mixed economy spreads the load VIC in transition as manufacturing base wanes but building and services holding up QLD up as dollar falls - strong exporter, tourism, population growth confidence up slowly SA showing early signs of revival but will be a gradual and lengthy process WA still OK with population surge but mining building boom over and lower iron ore prices TAS showing early signs of revival but remains national underperformer NT boom resources economy creaking under population surge but set to resume growth

Economic drivers - rates, dollar, wages, profits all low and falling - but shares up Interest rates remaining at 60 year low Downward bias until jobless falls below 6% - less stimulus capacity from record low rates deflation risk Mortgage costs falling as banks compete for market share but still at 2009 rates Rate cuts likely to continue through 2015 - economy needs more stimulus watch the currency Stockmarket rising with lower dollar but hostage to global forces Investors shift to shares and increased international investment with lower dollar Solid growth upside as still 10% below 2007 peak, unlike other exchanges at or near highs Lower dollar and looming deflation Imports more expensive, living standards fall, spending and investment decline Wages and profits subdued in low inflation economy places lid on house price growth despite rate cuts Government spending constrained by high deficit - horror budget(s) Retail sales, building, profits, sentiment and exports mixed, but not good enough

Sydney housing market outlook
