Australia: Q1 GDP figures surprise to the downside – UOB

Lee Sue Ann, Economist at UOB Group, assesses the recently published Q1 GDP figures Down Under.

Key Takeaways

Australia’s GDP came in at 0.2% q/q in 1Q23, below expectations for a reading of 0.3% q/q, and below the revised 0.6% q/q print in 4Q22 (0.5% q/q previously). From a year earlier, the economy expanded by 2.2% y/y, also a tad below expectations of 2.4% y/y, and lower from 4Q22’s revised reading of 2.6% y/y (2.7% y/y previously). 

The latest GDP print is in line with our view of growth turning softer as high inflation and interest rates weigh. We see Australia’s GDP growth at 1.5% this year and only a small improvement to around 1.6% in 2024. Key factors to watch will be how households are impacted by higher interest rates, how quickly inflation is able to moderate, and how wage growth ties in with labour market dynamics. 

As for monetary policy, we see a pause at 4.10% at the next monetary policy meeting on 4 Jul. Our view is that while the RBA maintained a tightening stance, the latest move was clearly in reaction to Apr’s inflation numbers. What this also means is that the key risk to our cash rate target call is the reaction function of the RBA and the possibility of the RBA tightening further.

Upozorenje o rizicima

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
