Board judged case to cut rates was, on balance, the stronger one.

Members placed more weight on the downside risks to the economy.

Particularly mindful of risk of keeping policy too tight for too long.

Board agreed decision did not commit them to further cuts in the cash rate.

Members expressed caution about the prospect of further easing

If inflation proved persistent, rates might stay at 4.1% for an extended period or be raised.

Strongest argument for cutting rates was the slowdown in inflation and wages.

Considered whether there was more spare capacity in labour market than thought.

Risk employment in non-market sector would slow, recovery in household consumption not assured.

Board considered three main reasons for keeping rates unchanged

Strength in labour market strongest reason for holding steady, tightness not consistent with 2.5% inflation.

Possible policy was not as restrictive as thought, or that the economy could pick up quicker than expected.

Upozorenje o rizicima

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
