Inflation Rise Confirms a Rate Rise

Kevin Rudd admits record low rates are certain to increase after an inflation rise of 2.1%.

The inflation rate has economists tipping a fourth consecutive interest rate rise when the Reserve Bank meets next Tuesday.

Figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics reveal headline inflation rose 0.5% in the three months to December, for an annual rate of 2.1%.

Mr. Rudd said interest rates would obviously rise again.
