Mark Bouris sits down with AMP economist My Bui to make sense of what’s really going on with inflation, interest rates and the Australian economy.

My also opens up about wages growth, why a big jump in minimum and award wages worries the Reserve Bank, and why Australia’s ongoing productivity problem is such a big piece of the puzzle.
