The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is starting to closely monitor the country’s current state of inflation to plan for its next course of action while warning the public of higher price pressures in the coming months.

At its monthly board meeting on April 5, the central bank decided to maintain the official cash rate at a record low of 0.1 percent. However, it appeared to be more concerned about the prospect of inflation.
