What is the RBA?
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is Australia's central bank, deriving its functions and powers from the Reserve Bank Act 1959. Its primary duty is to contribute to currency stability, full employment and the economic prosperity and welfare of the Australian people. The RBA achieves this by setting the cash rate to meet a medium-term inflation target of between 2% and 3%, maintaining a strong financial system and efficient payment infrastructure and issuing the nation's banknotes.
Decisions are made by a board of governors at eight meetings a year and ad hoc emergency meetings as required.
The RBA provides banking services to the Australian Government, its agencies and several overseas central banks and official institutions. Additionally, it manages Australia's gold and foreign exchange reserves.
