  • One of Australia's biggest finance experts has revealed why high interest rates will do nothing to help a crushing Aussie problem. Everybody assumes that the only way to kill inflation is high interest rates. A lot of the inflation in the economy can be solved by common sense policy.

Mark Bouris, a prominent finance expert and founder of Yellow Brick Road Home Loans, has called on the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to increase interest rates to combat inflation, which he believes is being underestimated.
