Data provide one window into what’s happening in the economy. To really
understand
what’s going on and why, we also need to engage with the people who operate
within
the economy. Enter the liaison program – a formal program of economic
intelligence
gathering established in 2001. Through the program our economists meet
frequently
with businesses, industry bodies, government agencies and community
organisations.
This gives us a near real time read on the economy that complements published
data
and economic models in informing our assessment of economic conditions.
In this
episode, learn about the history of the program, why we place so much importance
on
talking to the community in this way and how it has supported our
decision-making
over the last two decades.

Hitchen in learning more about why research is so important, the value of
collaboration and our current research priorities.
