Will Trump’s China tariffs trash our economy?
Manage episode 449792683 series 3382682
With Donald Trump back in the White House early next year, there’s a real possibility he’ll ignite a trade war with Beijing.
Given Australia does so much trade with China, that could have big consequences for our economy.
Today, we explore what could be in store for inflation, interest rates and our wider economy once Trump’s back in charge.
Economist Susan Stone explains that tariffs generally end up costing consumers and businesses more, and could lead to significant job losses.
She highlights that Australia’s high-tech exports to the U.S. might be impacted, and stresses the importance of finding new markets for these goods.
Dr. Stone also discusses the potential ripple effects on Australia’s economy if Trump’s policies slow down China, Japan, and Korea, our top trading partners.
She says retaliatory tariffs from other countries could further disrupt global trade.
