Reserve Bank of Australia governor Michele Bullock has warned that upside risks to inflation are beginning to materialise, raising the prospect that interest rates may need to rise again despite signs the Australian economy is slowing. Speaking before the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Economics on Friday, Bullock said higher oil prices, the Middle East conflict, the global artificial intelligence investment boom and lingering domestic capacity constraints were adding to inflation pressures.
Bullock said inflation is likely to remain elevated for some time due to capacity pressures and the Middle East conflict.
