The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
If the Reserve Bank's board keeps interest rates steady at 4.35 per cent, it would mark the first time in 2026 that rates have not been raised, providing potential relief for borrowers and indicating a possible shift towards future rate reductions. The government is also providing zero-interest loans to businesses to help maintain supply chains amid economic shocks.
