RBA Glossary definition for basis point
basis point – A basis point is 1/100th of 1 per cent or 0.01 per cent, so 100 basis points (bps) is equal to 1 percentage point. The term is used in money and securities markets to define differences in interest or yield. If an interest rate were to increase from 2 per cent to 3 per cent, it is said to have risen by 100 basis points (bps) or one percentage point.
