π Middle East Conflict Could Severely Impact Australia's Economy, Expert Warns Calculations and analyses are currently underway regarding the potential impact of the ongoing Middle East conflict on Australia's fuel prices and economic growth. According to Jin10, David Rumbens, a partner at Deloitte Access Economics, has stated that the worst-case scenario would severely affect Australia. A prolonged conflict could drive oil prices up to $175 per barrel, with inflation rates reaching 7.5% by the end of the year. The ultimate outcome could see Australia's unemployment rate rise to 6.8%, while the GDP growth rate could decline by 2.8%. Notably, none of the proposed scenarios indicate an unemployment rate below 5.0%. #MiddleEastConflict#AustraliaEconomy#FuelPrices#EconomicGrowth#Inflation#Unemployment#GDPGrowth#OilPrices#DavidRumbens#DeloitteAccessEconomics
