๐ข Cash Rate Update โ September 2024
As anticipated, Reserve Bank Governor Michele Bullock today announced the official cash rate (OCR) will remain at 4.35%.
The reason? Simply put, inflation is still too high because demand for goods and servicesโwhether from households, businesses, or the governmentโcontinues to exceed what the economy can supply. When demand outstrips supply, prices rise. This is inflation. ๐
To tackle this, the Reserve Bank continues to use monetary policy to slow demand.
While most major banks predict a potential drop in the OCR in early 2025, the situation remains uncertain. Stay tuned!
