2025/08/31

Central banks have, it is claimed, played an integral role in the evolution of modern economies. Initially, central banks were closely tied to governments.

Performative Politics Won’t Solve The Housing Crisis!

Digital Finance Analytics (DFA) Blog ·

2025/08/24

The announcement from the Government to freeze the building code came fast after the Productivity Round-table, and as expected, this is more performative politics, which will do nothing to solve housing affordability, but will give the Government cover for more tax reform.
