Description

Analysis by Region - Asia Pacific

Australian economic data released over the past month have come in broadly as expected. The labour market continues to perform well, with the March unemployment rate holding steady at 4%. Still, hours worked continue to be disrupted by high COVID case numbers. While the volatility in commodity prices has seen the trade surplus shrink, the impact on volumes is likely to be muted. The Federal budget will provide more support to households than we had expected, prompting a slight upgrade to our consumption and growth outlook in 2020. We now forecast GDP growth of 4.1% in 2020 (from 3.8%), moderating to 3.7% in 2023.
