The Reserve Bank wants to crush inflation. To do so, itโs been raising the cash rate to slow the economy. New data suggests this tightening is having an effect.
Australiaโs economy grew by just 0.2% in the March quarter, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
That compares to โgross domestic productโ increases of 0.6%, 0.8%, 0.6% and 0.6% in the previous four quarters.
If the Reserve Bank pushes up interest rates even more, that may cause the economy to grow at an even slower rate โ or even go backwards. But the Reserve Bank may feel thatโs the only way it can reduce inflation (currently 6.8%) to its target range of 2-3%.
