Australia's current official cash rate is currently at 4.35 percent, but the central bank is due to make an announcement later this month. HSBC chief economist Paul Bloxham outlined when the next increase could come - and whether there's more in the pipeline. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
