Hello and welcome to the AnyLoan Australia Weekly NewsCast with me, Paige Estritori, for Sunday, 21 June 2026. First, interest rates. On Tuesday, 16 June, the Reserve Bank of Australia, or RBA, kept the cash rate on hold at about four‑point‑three‑five per cent after three hikes earlier this year. The Bank says inflation is still too high, and its watching data closely, so another move remains possible if price pressures persist. For home, car, and business borrowers, this pause is a good moment to check repayments, use our calculators to test buffers, and compare options across lenders without delaying key plans. Next up, tax settings for small business. The government outlined concessions to its planned capital gains tax, or CGT, changes, lifting the small‑business turnover threshold for the 50% active‑asset reduction from two million to ten million dollars, and proposing a new Innovative Business CGT Concession for eligible start‑ups and investors. Consultation runs to 10 July, with most changes slated to start from 1 July 2027 if legislated. If youre considering a sale, restructure, or equity raise, talk to your accountant on timing, and use our broker network to compare funding or equipment‑leasing options aligned to your plans. Meanwhile, scams remain a real cost. A major bank was hit with a thirty‑five million dollar penalty after the court found widespread failures in scam detection, with customers losing more than twenty‑three million dollars, many to impersonation tricks. For anyone moving large sums—think settlements, vehicle purchases, or business invoices—confirm payee details out‑of‑band, enable bank security features, and lean on your broker to coordinate transfers securely. Finally, where could rates go next? Fresh analysis this week suggests most big banks expect cuts in 2027, while one bank still sees a chance of further hikes later in 2026. The next RBA decision arrives on Tuesday, 11 August. The takeaway: build in repayment headroom, and compare fixed, variable, and split options so youre not betting on a single rate path. Thats the wrap. For free eligibility checks, calculators, and side‑by‑side quotes across personal and business loans and leasing, head to anyloan.com.au. Im Paige Estritori—thanks for listening and Ill catch you next week.
