Australia’s GDP final consumption growth eased in the first quarter of 2026, slowing to 0.3% from 0.5% in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to data updated on 3 June 2026. The latest figures point to a moderation in spending momentum at the start of the year.

Final consumption, a key component of GDP that reflects spending by households and government, had previously risen 0.5% in Q4 2025, helping to sustain overall economic activity. The deceleration to 0.3% in Q1 2026 suggests a softer pace of demand, which could have implications for broader growth dynamics in the months ahead.

Investors and policymakers will be watching subsequent quarters closely to see whether this slowdown in final consumption proves temporary or signals a more persistent cooling in Australia’s domestic demand.
