In this special bonus episode, we’re joined by Chief Economist Besa Deda, recorded just one day after the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) announced its July decision to hold the cash rate steady.
With impeccable timing, this conversation covers the big-picture economic trends shaping Australia’s future, from rising risks to emerging opportunities across 2025 and 2026. Besa shares her views on interest rates, the role of the RBA and reflects on the key drivers of the Australian economy over the past two years.
We also hear about Besa’s new role at William Buck, where she has become the first Chief Economist appointed by an Australian mid-tier accounting and advisory firm, marking an important milestone in the evolution of economic advisory services.
Besa is one of Australia’s most respected economists, known for making complex economic issues both engaging and understandable. She brings over 20 years of experience across financial services, including senior roles at the Westpac Group, St.George Bank and Commonwealth Bank. In 2008, she made history as the first female Chief Economist at an Australian bank. Besa is also Chair of Australian Business Economists and a member of the ANU RBA Shadow Board.
Tune in for this timely conversation, a must-listen for business leaders, investors and anyone wanting to better understand where the Australian economy may be headed.
