THE KOREA TIMES
Australia may not have been on the radar for Korean investors — until now. As institutional appetite for alternative assets grows, Australian fund manager Zagga is positioning itself as a first mover to connect Korean capital with real estate opportunities down under.
Over the past three months, the run of economic news has been pointing to stronger activity with the composition of that growth increasingly favourable. Business investment and dwelling construction are stronger, while household consumption continues to recover. At the same time, and at odds with this better news, the labour market has shown signs of softness. The upturn in inflation is a concern for the RBA despite the fact that the drivers of the inflation increase appear to be one-offs.
At the same time, the housing market is recovering. New dwelling building approvals have rebounded strongly although the level of activity remains below the rate needed to address the housing shortage.
At its December meeting, the RBA left rates unchanged and ruled out a cut. While not signalling an imminent hike, the Board acknowledged that if inflation proves persistent and the labour market remains strong, a rate increase could be considered in the first half of 2026. For now, rates are likely to stay on hold — provided inflation eases back into the target band as temporary factors wash out.

STOCKHEAD & THE AUSTRALIAN
Australia’s favourite asset isn’t listed on the ASX. It’s the thing people live in, argue over at auctions, and quietly trust as their financial foundation long after the dinner table conversations have ended.
Today, the residential property market is worth more than $12 trillion – much larger than the size of the Australian sharemarket – with about 55% of household wealth tied up in bricks and mortar.
