- In line with an August update the threshold factor for sight deposits will be lowered from 25 to 22, effective from 1 October.
- Sight deposits are renumerated at the policy rate up to this threshold (now 1.00%, 25bp lower than previous).
- Sight deposits above this 22 threshold will now be renumerated at 0.50%, also down 25bp.
- So the spread between the policy rate and the rate on sight deposits above the threshold remains -50bp with today's decision.
- This spread was expected to remain at -50bp today.
