Flash Forum: The Cost-of-Living Crisis

Australians are being squeezed from all sides, through resurgent inflation, supply chain effects from the Middle East war and rising interest rates.

This Flash Forum will bring together experts from academia and business to discuss monetary and fiscal policy options, supply chain disruptions to oil and gas markets and how this will affect vulnerable sections of society.

This event is presented by the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research in partnership with the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia.
