On March 31, Sina Finance reported that the minutes of the meeting showed that the board of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) discussed the impact of their decision to raise interest rates on future decision-making. Due to the high uncertainty surrounding the scope and duration of the current Middle East conflict, board members unanimously agreed that it was impossible to make any confident predictions about the future direction of the benchmark interest rate target, and that an extension of the conflict duration could have significant impacts on inflation and economic activity. The minutes also indicated that future policy decisions would require the board to carefully balance achieving the inflation target and maintaining employment.
