At its meeting today, the Board decided to increase the cash rate target by 25 basis points to 4.10 per cent. It also increased the interest rate paid on Exchange Settlement balances by 25 basis points to 4.00 per cent.
在今天的会议上，董事会决定将现金利率目标提高25个基点至4.10％。它还将外汇结算余额的利率提高了25个基点至4.00％。
Inflation in Australia has passed its peak, but at 7 per cent is still too high and it will be some time yet before it is back in the target range. This further increase in interest rates is to provide greater confidence that inflation will return to target within a reasonable timeframe.
澳大利亚的通货膨胀率已经超过了峰值，但7％的通货膨胀率仍然过高，还需要一段时间才能恢复到目标区间。进一步提高利率是为了增强人们对通货膨胀将在合理的时间范围内恢复到目标的信心。
Some further tightening of monetary policy may be required to ensure that inflation returns to target in a reasonable timeframe, but that will depend upon how the economy and inflation evolve. The Board will continue to pay close attention to developments in the global economy, trends in household spending, and the outlook for inflation and the labour market. The Board remains resolute in its determination to return inflation to target and will do what is necessary to achieve that.
可能需要进一步收紧货币政策，以确保通货膨胀在合理的时间范围内恢复到目标，但这将取决于经济和通货膨胀的演变情况。理事会将继续密切关注全球经济的发展、家庭支出趋势以及通货膨胀和劳动力市场的前景。董事会仍然坚定不移地决心使通货膨胀恢复到目标，并将采取必要措施实现这一目标。
