Australia’s government tends to take a no-nonsense approach when dealing with macro problems.
During the pandemic, for example, entering the country was tightly controlled. In the face of Covid-19 woes, the government provided “extraordinary monetary assistance,” says James Druce, CLSA’s head of Australian real estate research.
The Reserve Bank of Australia had put in place a A$350 billion ($249 billion) quantitative easing programme in 2020.
