At the risk of sounding controversial, the 'official' interest rate rise of 25bp and RBA cash rate does not currently reflect the cost of raising capital (by banks). The bank bill rates are trading
well above the official RBA cash rate. That is market forces at work and amongst other things it tells us that the market is expecting further rate rises.
This story is widely pushed by the 'talkback radio' jockeys without giving the true picture.
What should be of greater concern will be the credit rationing that is happenig now and that will get worse and this will be regardless of what people are willing to pay to borrow money. That will have a large impact on our economy and businesses in general.

Surely I'm not the only one that can remember paying 18% for housing and 23% for business.
It was when we were starting out in business and went quickly from 12 % I thinnk it was, to that .
That is an increase, one that hurt but we got thru it.
Don't ask me how, we just did.
There must be other farmers amongst us that can remember this!

Guess that's the problem with borrowing someone else's money. You pay what they ask. After all it was their money that you want the unrestricted use of. That's how the system works. Sometimes comfortable for borrowers - other times not.
