MWCCI – Economic Outlook Breakfast

Budgets, debt, rising costs, political uncertainty and shifting priorities are creating growing pressure on regional businesses seeking clarity and confidence in what comes next.

Federal and Victorian State Budgets have landed. Interest rates remain under pressure. Inflation risk, rising costs and global instability continue to challenge business confidence.

At the same time, Australia is entering one of the most significant political realignments since Federation — and regional communities are at the centre of it. Old assumptions are breaking down, broken promises are being challenged, and productive regions are demanding to be heard.

Join David Robertson, Chief Economist, Bendigo
Bank, for a critical economic update on budgets, rates, inflation, confidence and the pressures facing regional business. Hear from Jade Benham MP, Member for Mildura. With November looming, Jade Benham MP will outline where the real political battle lines are emerging — debt, regional roads, health, education, Treaty, broken promises and the fight for regional Victoria’s fair share.

Spend the morning connecting with business leaders, employers, advisers, government representatives and regional decision-makers over a full hot buffet breakfast.
