Banks will be able to draw up the scheme until the end of June 2021. Policymakers reiterated that a recovery from the COVID-19 crisis is now underway in most of Australia. However, the recovery is likely to be uneven and bumpy, with the outbreak in Victoria having a major effect on the economy. The board said it is committed to do what it can to support jobs, incomes, and businesses. Policymakers added it will maintain highly accommodative settings and continue to consider how further monetary measures could support the recovery.
