RBA KEEPS POLICY UNCHANGED

Image

Australia's central bank maintained its key interest rate and vowed to keep the record low rate for at least three years.

The policy board of the Reserve Bank of Australia headed by the governor Philip Lowe decided on Tuesday to leave its key rate unchanged at a record low of 0.10 percent.

The central bank holds the target for the yield on the 3-year Australian Government bond at around 0.1 percent and the parameters of the Term Funding Facility and the government bond purchase program.

The board will not increase the cash rate until actual inflation is sustainably within the 2 to 3 per cent target range, the bank said. Given the outlook, the board is not expecting to increase the cash rate for at least three years.

The board will keep the size of the bond purchase program under review, particularly in light of the evolving outlook for jobs and inflation. The board said it is prepared to do more if necessary.

NEW ZEALAND FOOD PRICES FALL AS BORDER RESTRICTIONS DAMPEN EXPORTS

Image

New Zealand food prices declined in November as the Covid-19 restrictions reduced exports, Stats NZ said Friday.

Food prices fell 0.9 percent month-on-month in November, bigger than the 0.7 percent drop posted in October.

Rising air freight costs since the coronavirus border closures has made exporting products much more expensive. Moreover, shortage of international workers in the fruit picking industry has meant that growers cannot pick their fields fast enough, data revealed.

"With less exports there is more supply available for domestic consumption, causing lower prices," consumer prices manager Katrina Dewbery said.

"Prices are lower than we typically see for a November month with December generally being when they are cheapest. Some people may be seeing even cheaper prices during the first half of December," Dewbery said.

Despite a sharp 43 percent decrease in strawberry prices, fruit prices advanced 5.2 percent, while vegetable prices dropped 9.9 percent.
