The Reserve Bank looks likely to leave interest rates on hold this week. But what actually happens behind closed doors when that decision is made?

Michael Thompson is joined by economist Stephen Koukoulas, looking at why he expects the RBA to stay on hold, how the nine-member Monetary Policy Board reaches its decision, and just how close those votes can be.

They also preview the NAB Business Survey, average weekly earnings and housing lending data, and look at what Commonwealth Bank's results could tell us about stress among Australian borrowers.
