Why
Inflation remains too high, and the RBA believes it will only subside if economic growth slows and households bear the cost, leading them to keep the cash rate on hold at 4.35 per cent.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
Australia's central bank held interest rates steady, anticipating an economic slowdown needed to curb high inflation, which means households face continued pressure from stagnant productivity, potentially leading to lower living standards.
