Former Bank of England governor Mark Carney has downplayed the prospect that official interest rates will be reduced in the near-term. Carney has warned that interest rates in Australia and abroad will need to remain high until well into 2024 in order to bring inflation under control. He adds that a "very robust" banking system means that Australia is much better placed to cope with higher interest rates than some countries. The Reserve Bank of Australia has flagged further interest rate rises in coming months as it seeks to restore inflation to the target range of 2-3 per cent.
