Comments by RBA governor, Philip Lowe:

  • Expects cash rate to remain at current level for some years, but not forever

  • RBA doing all it can to lower funding costs, support supply of credit to businesses

  • RBA will not be buying bonds directly from the government

  • May take some time for yields to fall from current level to 25 bps

  • Expects yield target to be removed before raising the cash rate

  • Expects a recovery once the virus is contained

  • Also expecting significant job losses as the virus fallout hits

  • Will maintain current setting of rates until a strong recovery is in place

  • Nothing is off the table with policy

  • Expects bond yields across term structure to decline

  • Will do whatever is necessary to make sure credit is available

  • Says that we've done all we can do with the cash rate

  • The focus now is on taking other measures to support lending
