Influence of the Cash Rate on Market Interest Rates

An Overview of the Cash Rate and its Ability to Influence Market Interest Rates

This post will help you to understand the influence of the cash rate on market interest rates, as part of your Prelim Economics syllabus.

It is not the same as common interest rates that we see on home loans, savings accounts or credit cards.
