Extraordinary General Meeting

The Reserve Bank of Australia's resolve to cap inflation by raising interest rates has been met with concerns from business leaders. David Liddy, Bank of Queensland (ASX:BOQ) chief, has warned that an interest rate hike would hurt the economy even more.

Liddy said that Queensland's economy was already at its lowest point because of stagnant tourism and falling real estate values.

Bank of Queensland's (ASX:BOQ) profits was down to 45 percent to $50.4 million for half of the year to February 28 from last year's $97.2 million as the lending institution was beset by increase of bad debts. Cash profit fell 41 percent to $57.6 million due to recent floods and cyclones in Queensland.
