- RBA likely to cut rates by at least 0.75 per cent
- Major cut would save $50 a week on average
- But RBA hopes we'll spend it

INTEREST rates may drop by another 1 per cent next month in an early Christmas present for households as the Reserve Bank aims to boost consumer spending and avert a recession.

A further major cut in interest rates to 4.25 per cent - the lowest point in seven years - would lower households' monthly repayments by up to $200 on a standard variable loan of $300,000.

In the past three months the Reserve Bank of Australia has cut 2 per cent off the official interest rates, knocking $376 off the monthly repayments on an average standard variable mortgage.

While further cuts would be welcome the bad news is that household wealth has dropped by more than 8 per cent since the start of the year - wiping out about $32,000 of assets on an average family home, shares and savings.

And the retail sector is fretting that shoppers may not spend family bonuses and one-off pension payments due to be delivered early next month.

Westpac chief economist Bill Evans said the RBA, in the minutes from its November meeting, gave a "clear signal that rates will be cut by 75-100 basis points in December" in a bid to offset the impact of the global recession.

This would provide a welcome relief for households as a December rate cut would come just days ahead of the Government's $10.4 billion fiscal stimulus package. But it is just the next step in a cycle that could push rates to as low as 3.5 per cent by mid-next year, according to leading economists.

Despite another 110,000 expected job losses in the next 12 months, the Government hopes the twin approach of rate cuts and cash windfalls for hard-pressed families will keep the economy out of recession.

But even before the $10.4 billion has been given out, the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry is calling for a second economic stimulus package to help small business.

The latest ACCI small business survey for the September quarter shows the worst conditions since the survey began in 1996.

Almost $32 billion was wiped off the Australian share market yesterday - the lowest close since August 2004.

The Australian dollar has also collapsed back to a low of US64.31c as fears grow about the long-term strength of the Chinese economy.

呵呵好使劲降吧，降的跟美国一样低就好了

再接再厉降啊

哈哈，我的顾客开心死了。

开心？估计多的是担心哦

澳洲的确是太高了，降息的空间很大，至少美国减到零利率而澳洲则加到7-8厘，无形中推高了澳元。

降降息是硬道理!
全球性的!
