Today, on Tuesday, the Australian (Central) Reserve Bank made the decision to raise the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points for the second straight time.
The Central Bank’s Monetary Policy Council voted to raise the interest rate by 25 basis points to 2.85%.
The bank claimed that since May of last year, the monetary policy council has increased interest rates in an effort to bring the local economy’s supply and demand into a more sustainable equilibrium, which will help bring inflation back to the target range.
The bank emphasised that the monetary policy makers anticipate that the interest rate will remain unchanged throughout the ensuing time.
The size and timing of new increases in interest will be determined on the basis of the upcoming economic data, and the evaluation of the monetary policy council for inflation and the state of the labor market..
Australia’s interest rate is rising by 25 basis points.
