Australia’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) grew by 0.2% quarter-on-quarter in Q4 2024, maintaining the same pace as the previous quarter but falling short of the anticipated 0.3%. On an annual basis, CPI inflation slowed to 2.4% in Q4, down from 2.8% in Q3 and below the market projection of 2.5%.
The Monthly CPI for December 2024 rose by 2.5% year-over-year, aligning with expectations and slightly higher than November’s 2.3%. While this was the highest figure since August, it remained within the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) target range of 2%–3% for the fourth consecutive month. The Trimmed Mean CPI, preferred by the RBA, increased by 3.2% YoY, marking its slowest growth in three years. This was slightly below the forecast of 3.3% but still exceeded the central bank's target range.
