Confidence in record low interest rates being here to stay could push house prices sky high. Ultimately, the RBA sees rising asset prices (or home values) as a net positive, despite some economists warning that the unprecedented low interest rates could destabilise the economy. The internal RBA briefing noted that a rise in house prices (and other assets such as shares) would lead to increased household wealth and improved cash flow. As a result, Aussies would get out and spend more, and that in turn would stimulate the economy and business investment. The RBA internal report was accessed by FOI act.
