A WEEK IN REVIEW
Professional Brokers to be 'Advisers'
The MFAA is radically changing its member offering, by segmenting the
industry through tiered professional qualifications. Under the proposed framework, members will be required to have an MFAA
recognised diploma in addition to their certificate IV qualifications,
and meet a higher level of continuing professional development (30 hours
CPD) for annual practicing certificate renewal.
The MFAA has proposed a transitional period ending 1 July 2012 for
existing members and earlier (1 January 2011) for new members, to
facilitate members' compliance with the new professional development
strategy. (Source: The Adviser)
Australia gears up for a boom
The report, released today, also said Australians should brace
themselves for further rate rises as the economy continues to strengthen
by way of increasing employment and greater exports.
"We should see the Reserve Bank hike rates from neutral to
contractionary, meaning a cash rate over 6 per cent and the housing
variable toward 9 per cent before the next episode is over," BIS' senior
economist Richard Robinson said. (Source: The Adviser)
