The quarterly results are consistent with the newer monthly measure of annual inflation which has also been falling since hitting a high of 8.4% in December.

Key Points: 
  • The quarterly results are consistent with the newer monthly measure of annual inflation which has also been falling since hitting a high of 8.4% in December.
  • Helping bring inflation down were state government electricity rebates and cuts in the prices some households paid for medicines.
  • The prices of new dwellings grew more slowly as demand eased and problems with the supply of materials improved.
  • Conversely, there were sharp increases in the prices of insurance and some other financial services.

Underlying inflation down

    • The fall in Australia’s inflation is in line with falls in other Western nations including the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
    • An exception is China, which has almost no inflation.
    • Much of the slide in Australia’s inflation rate reflects weaker economic growth.
    • While he would prefer inflation to be falling more quickly, Australia was “making progress”.

What does it mean for my mortgage?

    • Today’s news does not suggest the bank needs to lift rates further.
    • It shows it is still on what Lowe calls the “narrow path” to getting things right.
    • But it is likely to take comfort from the fact inflation is falling as it expected it to, and at about the expected pace.
    • At 6%, inflation remains well above its 2-3% target.
