"
WHAT DO INTEREST RATES DO?"

The Herald Sun – Monday 14th September 2009

High interest rates suck up spare money sitting around that people might be tempted to spend.

Low interest rates mean households have spare money to spend because they are paying less to make their debt repayments.

When people spend a lot, prices increase, inflation goes up.

When people don’t have the money to spend, prices and inflation go down or at least stay steady.

Who sets these interest rates?

Each night all banks must balance their books. However it is impossible to physically get all the cash back into the vault each night so they borrow the shortfall from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA)

In turn the RBA charges the Banks a cash interest rate for lending them the money overnight.

So the RBA sets the official or cash rate that it charges all the other banks and that is why the rate gets passed on to everyone, through the system.

The RBA sets the interest rates – but recently Banks have started to charge more interest than what the RBA set; because they are borrowing from other sources than the RBA.

Who benefits from high interest rates?

Means a higher return for saving Deposits particularly self funded retirees; greater incentives for people to save; push up the value of our Currency the Australian Dollar – overseas investors will buy aussie dollars because of the higher returns on savings with our Banks.

Tips to cope with an interest rate rise

1. Prepare your household for a least a 2% rise in interest rates
2. Pay off or redraw from your home loan to pay off credit cards and personal loans (these have higher interest rates)
3. Shop around for better Mortgage deals - beware of exit fees and penalties for switching
4. Review household budgets – identify areas of excess and reduce
5. Be cautious about fixing home loan rates
