ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Feeling worried about investing after five rate rises in one year? Jess certainly is.
She’s learnt the best way to combat that feeling- it’s with facts.
So Jess sat down with Diana Mousina, Deputy Chief Economist at AMP and asked her to explain what is going on in the economy, just like she was having coffee with a friend.
Why are these rate rises still happening? What does this mean for your finances? When are the rises likely to end? Should you pause your investments for a bit and wait for things to calm down?
If you’ve has any of these questions swimming through your mind recently, if you’ve been feeling out of sorts or confused; Jess and Diana break down what you should actually pay attention to and what is just noise.
