Breakfast with Bendigo economist

Local business professionals gathered last Thursday at Noosa Arts Theatre for a breakfast event featuring David Robertson, chief economist at Bendigo Bank.

During his address, Mr Robertson discussed the seemingly contradictory economic conditions, highlighting high property prices, stock markets, and employment levels.

He noted that Australia is still experiencing a per capita recession with low consumer sentiment. Mr Robertson concluded that the economic rebound will likely be slow and cautious, with geopolitical risks continuing to impact confidence.

“This was a unique opportunity for business leaders and professionals to gain a deeper understanding of the economic forces at play,“ said Guy Hamilton, chair of Sunshine Coast Community Financial Services, which oversees Community Bank Tewantin-Noosa, Marcoola, and Cooroy.

“David’s expertise and engaging presentation style made complex economic concepts accessible and highly informative and help cut through a lot of the economic noise in the media.“

The event proved to be a valuable experience for those looking to stay informed about economic developments and their potential impact on business strategies and personal financial planning.

For more information on the presentation, contact Kerryn Vincart, Tewantin-Noosa branch manager, at 5440 5289.
