Australia’s central bank sees significant uncertainties around the economic outlook, which was why interest rates were likely to stay at record lows for some time yet.
In minutes of its August 5 meeting, where the central bank marked a full year without a rate change, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) also said there was a “notable degree” of spare capacity in the labour market.
“Members noted that there was inevitably a significant degree of uncertainty about the outlook, given the number of forces working in different directions,” the minutes said. As a result, the Board felt it was important to consider the risks to the bank’s forecast for an eventual pick up in economic growth.
