The latest quarterly survey of economists shows that the general consensus is that a rise in the cash rate is unlikely before late 2019. The Reserve Bank of Australia left official interest rates unchanged on 2 October, and governor Philip Lowe has reiterated that progress in reducing the unemployment rate and lifting inflation to the RBA’s target range of 2-3 per cent is likely to be gradual. Gareth Aird of the Commonwealth Bank expects the outlook for the housing market to influence the timing of any change in monetary policy.
