SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia's central bank on Wednesday said it would increase the rate at which it lends to financial institutions in regular money market operations, a technical change that had no implications for monetary policy.

In a speech at a debt conference, Reserve Bank of Australia Assistant Governor Christopher Kent said it will increase the price of all new open market repurchase agreements by 5 basis points to 10 basis points over the cash rate target.

It would also introduce a seven-day term, in addition to the existing 28-day term, at each weekly operation, he added. The changes will take affect from April 9.
