The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) warned inflation remains 'too high' at 4.3%, prompting a potential fifth interest rate hike. Treasurer Jim Chalmers noted the high rate makes it harder for families, while RBA deputy governor Andrew Hauser echoed this sentiment. RBA chief economist Sarah Hunter cautioned that current indicators do not suggest a recession, though fears persist. This finding comes from a video report published on 2026-10-28.
Key points
- Inflation accelerated to 4.3%, leading to expectations of another interest rate rise next week.
- RBA deputy governor Andrew Hauser described inflation as 'too high' and warned of a 'central banker's nightmare'.
