The Reserve Bank of Australia left its cash rate unchanged at 3.60% at its December 2025 monetary policy meeting, the last scheduled rate decision of the calendar year. The decision was unanimous, the bank confirmed in a statement published on its website.

Over the course of 2025 the RBA delivered three rate reductions while choosing to hold at five separate meetings, producing a cumulative easing of 75 basis points across the year as a whole. The December hold came as inflation had picked up in recent months.

#### BOARD'S ASSESSMENT

The board judged that the risks to inflation had tilted to the upside and that it would take a little longer to assess the persistence of inflationary pressures.
