What Are The Chances We WON'T See Another Rate Rise This Month
The Reserve Bank of Australia will meet tomorrow to decide if inflation has started to come down enough to not call for another rate rise or at least leave them on hold for this month. But while we were delivered seemingly good news about inflation recently, the numbers aren’t exactly what they seem and that will play a big factor in whether home and business owners will be expected to fork out even more when it comes to mortgage payment time. Today we’re speaking to economist Richard Holden about the chances of yet another rate rise. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!
