In a special podcast episode Belinda Allen and Stephen Wu deep dive into how the Australian economy could be impacted by a potential escalation in a trade war. In short the direct impact from US tariffs should be limited, but the indirect impact from a slowdown in China could be larger. While there remains uncertainty over the timing, size and duration of tariffs, there are mitigating factors that could help Australia. These include budget support in China, a flexible Australian dollar and easing in monetary and fiscal policy in Australia.
