Deloitte Access Economics partner Chris Richardson has released his influential, twice-yearly Budget Monitor, which paints a pretty picture for Australia’s “red-hot” recovery from the economic impact of the CCP virus pandemic.

As a result, smaller deficits than forecast are expected when Treasurer Josh Frydenberg hands down his budget on May 11. This puts Australia tens of billions of dollars better off than was expected just a few months ago.
