【澳洲网编译报道】在今年的首次会议上，澳央行（The Reserve Bank）将官方利率维持在0.1%的创纪录低点，同时公布了额外支出1000亿元购买政府债券的计划。

《时代报》报道，央行行长劳伊（Philip Lowe）2日证实，央行本月的关键政策设定不会改变。他将于3日在堪培拉的全国新闻俱乐部（National Press Club）发表首次发表讲话，概述该行对经济的预期。据悉，去年11月，澳央行将现金利率降至0.1%，同时启动了一项量化宽松（quantitative easing）计划，包括购买1000亿元的政府债券，并在其定期融资工具（term funding facility）计划下降低商业银行的利率。

however,Central bank2日出人意料地宣布，在目前的1000亿元债券购买计划于今年4月中旬结束后，将额外支出1000亿元购买联邦和州政府债券。劳伊表示，银行将每周购买50亿元的债券，此举旨在控制政府利率。房价大幅上扬和就业市场改善的迹象，已提振了央行可能改变量化宽松计划的预期。对此，劳伊表示，经济复苏正在顺利进行，且强于预期。他说：“就业率强劲增长，失业率降至6.6%，这是可喜的。零售支出一直很强劲，许多推迟偿还贷款的家庭和企业现在重新开始偿还贷款。这些成果是在澳洲在卫生领域取得成功及其政府非常重要的财政和货币支持的支持下完成的。”（高嘉文编译）
