Relief for Millions as RBA Cuts Interest Rates

  • On Tuesday, the Reserve Bank of Australia lowered the official interest rate by 0.25 percentage points to 3.85 percent, reducing borrowing expenses across the country.
  • The cut follows sustained progress in reducing inflation and reflects ongoing uncertainty from domestic and international economic conditions.
  • This is the second rate reduction this year, with major banks committing to pass on the full cut to variable rate mortgage holders starting late May and early June.
  • An average home loan of about $660,000 could save $213 monthly, and experts suggest further rate cuts remain possible amid cautious inflation forecasts.
  • The easing aims to support households with mortgage stress without undermining inflation control, but the RBA maintains a cautious outlook given global risks.
