Australia's economy continues to expand, but the rate of growth is slowing, according to new data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Growth over the last four quarters has been:
* Sep-22 = 0.7%
* Dec-22 = 0.7%
* Mar-23 = 0.4%
* Jun-23 = 0.4%
Due to the slowdown โ which has been triggered by rising interest rates โ the annual rate of economic growth fell from 3.1% in the 2021-22 financial year to 2.1% in 2022-23.
A slowing economy tends to lead to higher unemployment. The Reserve Bank has forecast that unemployment, which is currently at 3.7%, will rise to 4.4% by the end of the 2024 calendar year.
