Statement by the Monetary Policy Board: Monetary Policy Decision | Media Releases | RBA
2026-02-03

The Reserve Bank of Australia has decided to raise the cash rate target by 25 basis points to 3.85 percent due to rising inflation and increased capacity pressures in the economy. The Board anticipates that inflation will remain above target for an extended period, influenced by stronger-than-expected private demand and ongoing tight labor market conditions.
