Harper Morgan

Harper Morgan is an Australian economics writer known for translating complex monetary policy and market data into clear reporting for everyday readers. After graduating in economics and media studies, she began her career as a junior business reporter covering retail, energy prices, and the changing labour market across Sydney. Over the past decade, Harper has written daily explainers on inflation, wages, and interest-rate expectations, drawing on interviews with economists, regulators and bank analysts. Her work has focused on practical impacts—cost of living pressures, small-business finance, and household debt—while maintaining rigorous context and careful fact-checking. She has previously contributed to national business desks and played a key role in building a weekly “What it means” format that earned strong readership and staff recognition. Harper continues to deepen her coverage of productivity, trade policy and public finance, with a particular interest in how policy decisions flow through to housing and consumer confidence.
