Reserve Bank of Australia has again opted to leave the official cash rate on hold at 1.5%

RBA Updates
March 6, 2018

The Reserve Bank of Australia decided to once again leave the official cash rate unchanged at 1.5% with the last rate move back in August 2016. I’d like to share today’s rate announcement and the thoughts on why the Reserve Bank of Australia has made this decision.
With wages growth remaining modest and concerns emerging around the impact retail deflation is having on the overall economy, interest rates are predicted to be steady for the majority of 2018.
