Variable Interest Rates On Hold For March
………..
Today’s March 7th meeting of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has announced to keep the cash rate on hold at 1.5%. We expect this to remain stable for the remainder of the year.
In the last months we have seen a number of lenders increasing some of their variable rate products. We have seen increases in interest only loans and property investment loans for new and existing borrowers. This is an attempt to slow down the housing boom by making it more expensive for property investors to make future purchases. However, money is so cheap at the moment that even the small rate rises is having very little effect.
Banks and other lenders are continually reviewing their variable and fixed interest rates and we will keep you updated on any changes that may occur in the next month.
