Overdrafts And Savings Interest Rates To Be Raised
The Reserve Bank and major banks plan to raise overdraft and savings rates. The broad aim is to reverse last April’s cuts with a 16 percent overdraft rate restored to pre 1963 levels, affecting trading bank lending and deposit rates. Savings bank housing loan rates will not increase. London commentary notes rising prices risk to Australia’s balance of payments. Cantabrian statistics show hire purchase debt near £460 million in March and retail sales rising in the December quarter.
