At today’s (7th April 2020) meeting, the Reserve Bank of Australia’s board has decided to maintain the cash rate steady at 0.25%.
“As Australia deals with the coronavirus, the Board is committed to doing what it can to support jobs, incomes and businesses. The comprehensive policy package announced last month will also support the expected recovery. The Board will not increase the cash rate target until progress is being made towards full employment. Therefore it is confident that inflation will be sustainable within the 2–3 per cent target band,” the Governor commented on the RBA’s decision.
