Treasurer Jim Chalmers says ‘soft growth’ expected ahead of key economic growth figures due to be released tomorrow

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has again emphasised that economic figures due out tomorrow are expected to show soft growth. Analysts are tipping the numbers could show annual growth below 1%, which would be the weakest growth since late 2020. Jim Chalmers says global uncertainty and interest rate rises are "smashing" the economy, which the opposition says is an attack on the Reserve Bank.
