Official cash rate unchanged

December 6, 2012 - 4:49pm

The official cash rate has been left unchanged at 2.5%.

In the latest monetary policy statement, Reserve Bank Governor Graeme Wheeler said economic growth had slowed in recent months.

That had been accompanied by low inflation and rising unemployment.

However, growth is expected to accelerate up to 3% a year over the next two years.
