The Reserve Bank is meeting today to decide whether to raise interest rates, with economists unsure what to expect this time.
Economic indicators, such as growing household demand, have led to market speculation that the bank will raise interest rates by a quarter of a per cent.
The rates have not changed for more than a year.
The bank will look at the impact higher oil and petrol prices will have on the economy and whether they will drive up costs and cut into consumer spending.
The bank will announce its decision tomorrow.
