Mark & Kouky are back for a special recording of their monthly economic update at YBR's Conference before the next RBA decision in May.

"Consumers are aware of what's going on. So if we get a cut in May, then say one in July, then maybe one in September, just assuming we get three cuts, I reckon by the end of this year not only will be there the proverbial sigh of relief, there'll actually be a cash flow relief."
