Reserve Bank set to meet for decision over interest rates | 9 News Australia
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is set to hold its monthly meeting tomorrow to decide on interest rates, and 9 News has learned that the outlook for the economy is clouded with uncertainty.
In its previous meeting, the RBA left interest rates on hold at 0.1%, citing concerns about the impact of COVID-19 on the economy. However, with inflation expected to rise and unemployment rate dropping, many are anticipating a rate hike to prevent the economy from overheating.
What does this mean for you?
A rate hike would increase borrowing costs for households and businesses, which could impact consumer spending and the housing market. On the other hand, a rate hike would also help to reduce the risk of inflation, which is currently running at its highest level in decades.
What are the expert predictions?
Analysts are divided on whether the RBA will choose to raise interest rates tomorrow. Some predict that the central bank will hold fire again, citing concerns about the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and the risk of a broader downturn.
Others believe that the RBA will opt to raise rates, arguing that the economy is strengthening and that inflation is too high.
What is the RBA’s recent record?
In the past, the RBA has been cautious in raising interest rates, preferring to maintain a stimulatory stance in the face of uncertainty. However, with inflation at its highest level in decades and the economy expected to grow at a steady pace, some are questioning whether the RBA is becoming too dovish.
What are the economic indicators?
The Reserve Bank’s decision will be guided by a range of economic indicators, including the consumer price index (CPI), the unemployment rate, and the GDP growth rate.
