Well, well, well – so they cut it again eh? Although to be fair, with Australia plunging into a Coronacession, and the likelihood of elevated unemployment numbers, the RBA is committed to doing whatever it can to support jobs and the economy. And one of their biggest weapons – is cutting the official cash rate. This is supposed to boost business borrowing and consumer spending to try and stimulate the economy to create jobs.
