Why these releases matter

The RBA sets the cash rate to keep inflation between 2 and 3% while supporting full employment. Inflation (CPI and the trimmed mean), unemployment and wage growth are the figures most closely watched before each decision, though the Board considers a much wider range of information.

Meeting dates come from the official RBA schedule; release dates come from the ABS.
