The RBA confirmed that it would not be paying a dividend to the federal government for last financial year. The government will replenish the RBA's reserve fund with an injection of AUD8.8bn. RBA Deputy Governor Lowe expressed optimism that non-mining investment in the local economy would grow by more than the contraction in mining investment estimated to be 3% of GDP over the next several years. Lowe said growth in the non-mining sector would be in the high single digits. Today's Forecast Range: USD 0.9550 - 0.9650
