In Australia, interest rates decisions are taken by the Reserve Bank of Australia's Board. The official interest rate is the cash rate. The cash rate is the rate charged on overnight loans between financial intermediaries, is determined in the money market as a result of the interaction of demand for and supply of overnight funds.

Latest Updates

The Reserve Bank of Australia left the cash rate unchanged at a record low of 1 percent during its August meeting, following two consecutive rate cuts, saying it will take longer than earlier expected for inflation to return to the 2 percent target while the country's economic growth has been lower than previously forecast. The RBA is seen cutting interest rates later in the year as escalating US-China trade war tensions would pose mounting risk to the economy.
