Sydney (ANTARA News/Asia Pulse) - Australia's central bank has increased the official interest rate by 25 basis points, saying growth is likely to be near trend and inflation close to target over the coming year.

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) raised the cash rate to
4.00 per cent, the highest since February 2009, from 3.75 per cent after its board meeting on Tuesday.

RBA governor Glenn
Stevens said the labour market data and a range of business surveys suggested growth in the economy may have already been at, or close to, trend for a few months.
