RBA signals inflation to stay above target as growth remains resilient
TL;DR
The Reserve Bank of Australia’s February 2026 Monetary Policy Statement says growth and inflation have been stronger than expected, inflation is broadly based and higher due to capacity constraints, and the inflation outlook has been revised higher, indicating inflation will likely remain above the target for some time. The labour market remains a little tight as demand momentum persists, signaling a cautious policy stance ahead.
