RBA keeps rates on hold for eighth straight month

02 August 2011

The RBA board chose to leave the official cash rate at 4.75 percent, the level reached when rates were last hiked on Melbourne Cup Day last November.

Although many economists predicted that rates would not be moved today, the decision was made against a backdrop of inflation which has stepped above the RBA's target band of 2-3 per cent.
