The Central Bank's cut the OCR 25-basis-points to 3.25 percent - and is now forecasting it will reach a low of 2.9 percent in December.
But the six members of the Monetary Policy Committee didn't all see eye-to-eye.
Some felt keeping the rate unchanged could be beneficial.

He says core inflation is falling and there's spare capacity in the economy, but there was some disagreement on how persistent inflation expectations will be.
