SYDNEY \u2014 The Reserve Bank of Australia sharply revised up its forecasts for core inflation in the near term and warned that inflation pressures are cooling at a slower pace than anticipated against the backdrop of an economy that is proving more resilient than expected.<\/p>\n

Trimmed mean inflation, which is central to policy decisions at the RBA, is now expected to be running at 4.0% on-year by mid-2024, up from a forecast of 3.25% on-year in August.<\/p>\n

\n

Overall, the RBA expects inflation will be at the top of its 2%-3% target band by the end of 2025, but its outlook now assumes greater risks in the near term, which, if realized, could underpin further interest-rate increases.<\/p>\n

\u201cInflation in Australia has passed its peak but it is still too high and is proving more persistent than expected a few months ago,\u201d the central bank said Friday in a statement on monetary policy.<\/p>\n

The new forecast comes after the decision by the RBA\u2019s policy-setting board on Tuesday to raise the official cash rate a further 25 basis points to 4.35%, the first increase since June.<\/p>\n

The hike was the thirteenth since May last year, and followed data showing that inflation was stickier than anticipated in the third quarter.<\/p>\n

Still, the RBA appears cautious overall, saying that it will examine the data flow closely to assess if further interest-rate increases are needed, while noting that the full impact of prior rate increases is yet to be felt.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe board\u2019s priority is to return inflation to target. Whether further tightening of monetary policy is required to ensure that inflation returns to target in a reasonable timeframe will depend upon data and the evolving assessment of risks,\u201d the RBA said.<\/p>\n

The forecasts are the first to be overseen by recently-appointed Gov. Michele Bullock, who replaced Philip Lowe in September. Bullock said recently that the RBA would \u201cnot hesitate\u201d to raise interest rates if the environment for inflation deteriorated.<\/p>\n

The RBA outlook also pointed to growing evidence that inflation expectations are beginning to rise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe weight of recent information suggests that the risk of inflation remaining higher for longer has increased,\u201d the central bank said. \u201cWhile it has been reassuring that medium-term inflation expectations have remained anchored to date, some measures have recently been edging up,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

Unhinged inflationary expectations could quickly become a problem, especially if productivity growth remains weak, the RBA said.<\/p>\n

The RBA\u2019s stronger forecasts for both gross domestic product growth and unemployment reflected the recent resilience of the economy.<\/p>\n

GDP growth is expected to be soft over the forecast horizon, but gradually strengthen from around mid-2024 to be around 2.25% by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
