Article Abstract:

Australia's Reserve Bank believes housing prices in the country are still excessive in August 2005, and may have a game plan to deflate the housing bubble, but the future remains uncertain. Experts believe that the contemporary monetary policy, dominated as it is in a deregulated global system by the US Federal Reserve, is creating an inherently speculative or bubble-prone environment.
