Original: RBA interest rates: governor Michele Bullock explains decision to lift cash rate to 4.6%
The Reserve Bank of Australia has raised the cash rate to 4.6%, with governor Michele Bullock explaining the board's reasoning in a public address. The move means higher borrowing costs for Australian households and businesses, and borrowers face increased mortgage repayments. Bullock's explanation of the decision is drawing wide attention as Australians assess the impact on mortgages, savings and inflation.
Why now: The RBA's surprise rate rise directly affects mortgage holders and the cost of living, prompting strong public interest in the governor's justification.
