Westpac Banking Corp. ’s chief executive officer Anthony Miller has warned the conflict in the Middle East has raised the risk of a recession in Australia, saying that it was unclear how long supply chain disruptions from the Iran war could take to work their way through the economy.

Speaking in mid-March, Treasurer Jim Chalmers said Australia was not “anticipating or expecting” a recession. Westpac’s chief economist Luci Ellis said in a note on March 30 that she was expecting the Reserve Bank of Australia to raise its benchmark rate three more times over the course of 2026, bringing it to a 17-year high, in an effort to quell growing inflation.
