As expected, RBA cash rate once again increased for July

Reserve Bank of Australia

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) today decided to increase the official cash rate, by 0.50% to 1.35%.

With the RBA continuing to try and head off inflation before it takes too strong a hold on our economy, the decision was made to raise the rate.

Lenders can set interest rates independently of RBA movements and their responses to this official cash rate hike may vary.
