就澳大利亚四大银行之一的澳新银行7日宣布上调可变住宅贷款利率20个基点问题，Wayne Swan发表了强烈的反对意见。
Wayne Swan称国民银行4日当周宣布上调可调整抵押贷款利率12个基点更好地反映了由于美国次级债危机影响造成平均融资成本上升的实际情况。
他说，尽管抵押贷款利率上调，但澳大利亚已经做好准备能够顺利度过全球经济下滑时期。他表示，澳大利亚经济增长非常强劲，澳大利亚也许是世界上做的最好的国家之一，能够解决这次全球性经济下滑带来的影响。
但毫无疑问的是最近一段时间美国经济持续放缓的可能性增大，就像其影响全球借贷市场成本一样，也会对澳大利亚产生影响。
Wayne Swan还指出，解决通胀问题是本届政府最重要的政策。并称在短期、中期以及长期控制通胀仍是非常重要的。
