Australia's top banker tells it how it is

 




Reserve Bank Governor Michelle Bullock has upset Labor Party MP Education Minister Jason Clare by suggesting borrowers may have to 'sell their homes' to cope with aggressive rate hikes.

“Although this group is fairly small overall, those in it have had to make quite painful adjustments to avoid falling behind on their mortgage repayments.

“This includes things like cutting back on their spending to the more essential items, trading down to lower-quality goods and services, dipping into their savings or working extra hours.

Some may ultimately make the difficult decision to sell their homes” she said.
