Australian central bank cuts key interest rate to 0.1%

 CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s central bank on Tuesday cut its benchmark interest rate by 0.15 of a percentage point to a record low 0.10% in a bid to lift the economy from a pandemic-induced recession.


The move was the first since March when the Reserve Bank of Australia board made two cuts of a quarter of a percentage point each two weeks apart.


The Reserve Bank also announced it would buy 100 billion Australian ($70 billion) of government bonds of maturities of around five-to-10 years over the next six months.


The bank is prepared to buy bonds in whatever quantity is required to achieve a 3-year yield target of 0.1%, Reserve Bank governor Philip Lowe said in a statement.

Hey All, Laser hair removal is such a great thing. I am sure every woman who has undergone the pain of waxing and has had ingrown hair due to shaving wants to get it done. Everyone is an eligible candidate as long as they have healthy skin which does not have any breakouts or acne. I have been working closely with laser technicians for several years and know how it all works. I have seen people with freckles, moles, skin tags and other skin conditions undergo it without any problems. The only people who cannot undergo it are those who are suffering from skin cancer, active acne and pigmentation. Here is an article for all the details on the topic.   https://www.freshskincanvas.com.au/which-skin-problems-can-affect-laser-hair-removal/
