The Reserve Bank of Australia has retained the official cash interest rate at its lowest level of 0.25 percent.
RBA Governor Philip Lowe noted “As difficult as this is, the downturn is not as severe as earlier expected and a recovery is now under way in most of Australia”.
Although under employment and unemployment remain high, Dr Lowe said employment had increased in June and July.
“The virus outbreak in Victoria and subdued growth in aggregate demand more broadly mean that it is likely to be some months before a meaningful recovery in the labour market is under way” said Dr Lowe.
“Wage and prices pressures remain subdued and this is likely to continue for some time”.
