The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has revised its inflation forecast down to 1-2%, a significant drop from the previous 2-3% range. This adjustment follows a deflationary Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, prompting the RBA to cut the cash rate to 1.75%. The statement suggests that these measures aim to boost economic growth, although GDP and unemployment forecasts remain stable.
