The Australian economy is being pulled in different directions by the buoyant mining sector on the one

How will this combination of factors play out in 2012? And what will it mean for interest rates and the
property market in the year ahead?
The Australian Property Institute is proud to present a joint forum with the Mortgage and Finance
Association of Australia, which examines the outlook for the year ahead. Brian Redican will provide his
insight for the global outlook and the likely impacts on the Australian economy and official interest rates.
