ISTANBUL (AA) - The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) increased its policy rate by 25 basis points to 3.85% on Tuesday.
The bank also increased the rate paid on exchange settlement balances by 25 basis points to 3.75%.
The RBA stressed that the inflation has passed its peak but the current level of 7% is still "too high."
"The Board judged that a further increase in interest rates was warranted today," it added.
It held interest rates constant at the last meeting in April.
