RBA Raises Interest Rates to 4.10% Amid Persistent Inflation Concerns

Resumen del evento

On March 17, the Reserve Bank of Australia raised the cash rate target by 25 basis points to 4.10% amid ongoing inflation concerns. Inflation picked up materially in the second half of 2025, despite falling from its 2022 peak. The RBA noted that greater capacity pressures contributed to the rise in inflation, warning that fuel-price shocks tied to the Iran war could push inflation higher.
