Supporting data for RBA Cash Rate. It adds detail to that headline metric and is not counted in the national scores.
Australia's rba cash rate target was 4.8% as of November 2026. The Reserve Bank's cash rate target as announced, with the day each change took effect. Unlike the monthly average it shows the rate in force today. A change in the target reaches mortgage and business lending within weeks. The monthly average lags it by up to a month, so this is the rate to read when the Board has just moved. Data is sourced from RBA Table A2, changes in monetary policy (ARBAMPCNCRT) and updated monthly.
