RBA Announcement

8 July 2019/Uncategorized

By Carbone Partners - 8th July 2019

The Reserve Bank of Australia decided to once again reduce the official cash rate, this time to 1% in a concentrated effort to boost household spending and the economy in general.

In making the decision to lower rates again this month the RBA has signalled its focus on supporting employment growth as it looks to restore inflation to within its target range and provide further stimulus to the economy.

Here is a table showing how Australia's average mortgage sizes may be affected:

Loan amount examples	Likely decrease in repayments
$150,000	$21.45 per month
$250,000	$35.75 per month
$350,000	$50.05 per month
$450,000	$64.35 per month
$550,000	$78.65 per month
$650,000	$92.95 per month

Interest rates are already at historic lows, and if lenders respond to the RBAs move by slashing their interest rates, there is an even more compelling case for you to review your lending options now.
