RBA … Rates on Hold
Following the decline of the Aussie Dollar and improvements in the Manufacturing Sector the Reserve Bank Board has elected to “Wait & See” by retaining the Official Cash Rate at the current level of 2.75%.
Further reductions in the Variable Interest Rates are predicted however economists are not confident to predict further falls in Fixed Interest Rates which are already experiencing record low levels.

Finally Australian home owners and their families can enjoy the full benefits of the Reserve Bank’s decision to reduce the Official Cash Rate with all four “Big Banks” passing on the full rate cut (0.25% p.a.) to their customers.

RBA … No Change Rates
BREAKING NEWS … No Change to Interest Rates
5th March 2013 –
Following today’s Board Meeting the Reserve Bank has elected to retain the Official Cash Rate at the current level (3%). This decision was widely anticipated considering the recent financial data confirming improvements in the domestic economy combined with an increasing sense of stability in the USA and European Economies.
The Reserve Bank is prepared to reduce rates further during 2013 if / when this action is required however the decision to keep rates on hold during March is supported by most Senior Economists.
