RBA Keeps Cash Rate Unchanged At Record-Low


The Reserve Bank of Australia on Tuesday decided to retain its benchmark cash rate at record-low of 2.5 percent, in line with economists' expectations.

At the meeting, the Reserve Bank Board noted that the setting of the monetary policy remained "appropriate".

The Board said it will "continue to assess the outlook and adjust policy as needed to foster sustainable growth in demand and inflation outcomes consistent with the target."

In a statement, RBA Governor Glenn Stevens said the exchange rate may depreciate further overtime and this would help to foster a rebalancing of growth in the economy.

"The easing in monetary policy since late 2011 has supported interest-sensitive spending and asset values, and further effects can be expected over time," Stevens said.
