Revisions in this issue

There are revisions in this issue due to the incorporation of more up-to-date data and concurrent seasonal adjustment.

Changes in this issue

This issue includes a print-friendly key tables section of headline economic indicators. For more information regarding these tables, please see the Information paper: New key tables for the presentation of the quarterly national accounts.

Bushfire activities

Impacts of recent bushfires and natural disasters around Australia have been closely monitored through the compilation and quality assurance of the national accounts. While impacts on economic activity are observable in isolated areas of the accounts, these are not apparent at an aggregate level. More impacts are expected from both the bushfires and COVID-19 in the March quarter. For more information please see the ABS Chief Economist Series paper Measuring natural disasters in the Australian economy.

Sales events support growth in household consumption

Household final consumption expenditure increased 0.4% in the quarter, with through the year growth up 1.2%. The quarterly rise in household consumption was driven by consumption of discretionary goods and services, which rose 0.5%, the largest increase since June 2018. Essential goods and services also contributed with a modest rise.

Income tax payable drove fall in household saving ratio

The fall in gross disposable income resulted in the household saving ratio declining from 4.8% in the September quarter to 3.6% in the December quarter 2019. The fall in gross disposable income was driven by a 9.3% increase in tax payable following a strong decline with the introduction of the low and middle income tax offset last quarter.

2.1% rise in clothing and footwear
1.3% rise in furnishings and household equipment
0.5% increase in recreation and culture

General government FCE also contributed to the increase with a rise of 0.7%, driven by a:

Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing +0.4%

This increase was driven by:

falls in input costs
Increased slaughter rates of cattle and sheep as ongoing drought conditions continued to impact the industry

Mining +1.6%

3.9% rise in Coal Mining reflecting increased production of hard and soft coking coal
4.2% rise in Other Mining with copper and gold production levels returning to normal after maintenance last quarter

Manufacturing +2.3%

The increased production was driven by a:

6.2% rise in Food, Beverage and Tobacco Product Manufacturing as manufacturers experienced ongoing international demand for Australian meat products (Meat exports +2.9%)
4.0% rise in Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing

Construction -2.3%

The decline was driven by a:

3.4% fall in Building Construction, reflecting weaknesses in both residential and non-residential building construction
1.7% decline in Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction due to a slowdown in non-dwelling construction
2.0% fall in Construction Services

Transport, Postal and Warehousing +2.0%

Production was driven by a:

1.7% increase in Road Transport due to increased livestock freight, reflecting increased livestock production and meat exports
1.2% rise in Air and Space from increased domestic travel

Information Media and Telecommunications +0.4%

Telecommunication Services rose 1.0% , reflecting increased household expenditure on telecommunication services. This was partly offset by information and media services, which fell 0.3% due to a reduction in publishing, motion picture and sound recording activities.

Financial and Insurance Services +0.1%

Other Financial and Insurance Services rose 0.6% due to continued growth in superannuation services. This was partly offset by a 0.1% fall in Finance, driven by weak loan and deposit balances.

Professional, Scientific and Technical Services +0.1%

Other Professional, Scientific and Technical Services rose 0.5% due to engineering design for the mining industry and public transport infrastructure. This was partly offset by Computer System Design and Related Services, which fell 1.0%.

Health Care and Social Assistance +1.7%

The rise is driven by continued strength in public and private health. The industry remains strong through the year, with growth of 8.3%.
