25.01.2022 ** RBA Rate Announcement ** The Reserve Bank of Australia has today kept the cash rate at 0.25% for the 7th straight meeting in a row. The RBA was widely predicted to reduce the rate further in October or November, although with the Federal Budget due today, the majority favoured a Melbourne Cup rate cut in November. It has previously stated that it sees a cash rate of .25% as a floor but may need to consider the merits of a further reduction against other stimulus options,... if signs of a recovery fail to emerge. Rates are at a record low and lenders continue to offer very competitive rates. We can answer your questions and look at your circumstances to make sure you're prepared for what could be coming next. This could mean refinancing or approaching your lender for a better rate. Because we do this type of work every day, we have a pretty good idea what lenders can do to win or keep your business. We're here to help if you have any questions. Please don't hesitate to give us a call. Achievement Finance

25.01.2022 **RBA Rate Cut Announcement** The cash rate decision for March has been announced by the RBA with a rate cut. The RBA has reduced the cash rate to a new record low of 0.50% in response to the economic threat posed by the coronavirus outbreak and bush fire crisis. ... Whilst the Reserve Bank would have been encouraged by recent economic data confirming continued house price increases and business investment, the dangers to the economy posed by the virus and fires and fears of a recession left the RBA with little option but to reduce rates. Here is a table showing how Australia's average mortgage sizes may be affected: Loan amount examples & likely decrease in repayments $150,000 $21.45 per month $250,000 $35.75 per month $350,000 $50.05 per month $450,000 $64.35 per month $550,000 $78.65 per month $650,000 $92.95 per month Lenders continue to review rates independently of the RBA with some already making reductions in anticipation of the RBA decision. It is therefore important to review your lending options regularly to ensure they remain the most suitable for your situation. There may be different rates available from our wide panel of lenders and I'm always available to ensure you have the right financial solution for your current and future circumstances.

19.01.2022 The RBA decided to once again leave the official cash rate unchanged at 1.5%.
