Australia's RBA tipped to hold cash rate at 4.35%
Australia's central bank will decide on Tuesday (Aug 6) on whether to raise interest rates in the wake of a worsening cost-of-living crisis. Some economists have warned that a further rise in the official bank rate risks tipping Australia into a recession. However, the latest inflation figures have given cause for hope the Reserve Bank of Australia will stay with the current official cash rate of 4.35 per cent. Roger Maynard reports.
