RBA December 2027 meeting detailsWhat time is the RBA decision announced?
The scheduled announcement is normally at 2:30pm Sydney time on the second meeting day. This is the decision announcement time, rather than the time the Board starts its meeting. Check each meeting above for its confirmed date.
Sydney uses AEDT during daylight saving and AEST during standard time. Each announcement above shows the timezone for that particular date.
How do I add the RBA dates to my calendar?
Download the RBA calendar file and import it into Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook. Importing a downloaded file is a snapshot; download it again if the official schedule changes.
For inflation, jobs and wages release dates, use the Australian economic calendar. Meeting results and target changes are in RBA cash rate history.
