RBA has reduced the cash rate to 0.25%

19 March 2020

In an emergency meeting held this afternoon, the Reserve Bank of Australia has delivered a second consecutive cut in less than 3 weeks slashing the cash rate to a new record low of just 0.25 per cent in response to the worldwide COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic.

Reserve Bank governor Philip Lowe said the bank would hold the cash rate at 0.25 per cent “until progress is being made towards full employment and it is confident that inflation will be sustainably within the 2-3 per cent target band”. The RBA is moving in the footsteps of other world central banks, including the US Federal Reserve, in buying up government bonds and encouraging consumer spending through stimulus packages.

Recently I came on board as a client, and cannot recommend Angela highly enough. To date, my experience with Angela and the team has been fantastic and I would not hesitate in providing a referral. I have been impressed with the prompt return of calls and emails, and have had all work completed within our agreed time frames. The valuable taxation and small business advice I have received has been incredibly useful and provided me with support and guidance on my personal and business journey. If you are looking for a Tax Accountant or Advisor, don't hesitate in making the move over to Crest.

I cannot commend Crest Advisors lending team enough. As first home owners, we found the place we wanted and knew we had to find someone to make our loan happen. Dion & Nat, not only had fantastic communication & correspondance, they worked with us on finding what we wanted and helped us secure our first home. The were patient & explained everything as we were completely new to it all. They gave us direction and guidance in what we needed and were very thorough with what they needed.We cannot thank Dion & Nat enough and highly reccomend them to anyone.
