Dwelling investment continues to decline

Investment in new and used dwellings fell by 6.0% in the quarter. Through the year growth is down 10.9%. There was broad-based weakness this quarter with houses (-6.1%) and other residential dwellings (-5.6%) both declining. These falls are consistent with the weakness in dwelling approvals. All states and territories recorded falls in dwelling investment with the exception of Tasmania.

Machinery and equipment drives investment

Mining investment rose 2.4% in the quarter, the first increase since June 2018. Mining related machinery and equipment drove the growth. Non-mining investment fell 1.8% driven by non-dwelling construction. Investment in non-residential buildings declined after strength in the March quarter. Weakness in engineering construction was driven by falls in infrastructure and renewables projects. Machinery and equipment partly offset the decline.

Household saving ratio lowers

The household saving ratio fell to 2.3 with growth in household final consumption expenditure outpacing household disposable income. The growth in disposable income was partly driven by growth in compensation of employees, which was offset by a fall in non-life insurance claims. The decline in income received for non-life insurance claims in the June quarter follows two positive quarters as a result of the NSW hailstorms and QLD floods.

Summary comments

Final consumption expenditure

Household final consumption expenditure increased 0.4% in seasonally adjusted terms. This was driven by rises in hotels, cafes and restaurants (0.9%), recreation and culture (0.5%), and insurance and other financial services (0.4%). There were falls in purchase of vehicles (-3.0%) and electricity, gas and other fuel (-0.7%).
Government final consumption expenditure increased 2.7% in seasonally adjusted terms. State and local general government consumption increased 2.5%, while national general government consumption rose 2.8%.

Gross fixed capital formation

Gross fixed capital formation decreased 1.7% in seasonally adjusted terms, with both private and public sector investment detracting from growth. Private investment declined 1.6%, driven by falls in non-dwelling construction (-5.9%) and dwellings (-4.4%). This was partly offset by a rise in machinery and equipment (3.4%) investment. Public investment decreased 2.3%, driven by state and local general government (-4.1%). The decrease was partly offset by strength in national defence (7.1%).

Changes in inventories

Total inventories decreased $1,982m in seasonally adjusted terms following an increase of $559m last quarter. The decrease was driven by a run down in Public authorities, Wholesale trade and Retail trade inventories. Farm inventories rose this quarter, following a fall in the March quarter.

Exports and imports of goods and services

Exports of goods and services rose 1.4% in seasonally adjusted terms. Exports of goods increased 1.7% driven by non-rural goods (4.0%), particularly other mineral fuels (10.9%), partly offset by a fall in rural goods (-4.3%). Exports of services rose 0.4% driven by travel services (1.7%).
Imports of goods and services fell 1.3% in seasonally adjusted terms. Imports of goods fell 1.5% driven by consumption goods (-2.9%), intermediate goods (-1.4%) and capital goods (-0.5%). Imports of services declined 0.9% driven by travel services (-1.0%).

June quarter

Summary comments

Gross operating surplus (GOS)

Total GOS grew 1.9% increasing for all sectors except public non-financial corporations. Private non-financial corporations were the main contributor to growth, increasing 2.9%, which is consistent with the rise in the terms of trade (1.4%).
Through the year GOS increased 9.4%. Mining was the main contributor to this growth, driven by higher commodity prices and increased production volumes.

Compensation of employees (COE)

COE increased 1.3% and average compensation per employee rose 0.9%.
Private COE grew 1.1%, while public COE increased 2.0%.
All states and territories with the exception of the Northern Territory recorded growth in COE this quarter. The strongest growth came from Tasmania (3.6%) followed by Victoria (1.8%). All states recorded growth in COE through the year with the exception of Northern Territory.

Summary comments

Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing

Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing fell 2.1%, driven by falls in output of livestock and grains. Slaughter rates of cattle and calves decreased during the quarter, while the winter crops continued to be impacted by the ongoing drought conditions in the eastern states. The industry declined 8.1% through the year.

Mining

Mining rose 3.4%, driven by Oil and Gas Extraction (7.2%) and Coal Mining (3.9%). New and existing facilities drove the growth in oil and gas output, while a strength in global demand contributed to the increase in coal production. Iron Ore Mining rose 1.2%, as production volumes returned to normal levels following adverse weather conditions last quarter. The industry grew 6.2% through the year.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing fell 1.4%, driven by falls in Other Manufacturing (-6.4%) and Metal Product Manufacturing (-2.3%). This reflects general weakness in the Construction industry. Partly offsetting the fall were Food, Beverage and Tobacco Product Manufacturing (0.7%) and Petroleum, Coal, Chemical and Rubber Product Manufacturing (0.3%).

Electricity, Gas, Water and Waste Services

Electricity, Gas, Water and Waste Services fell 0.3%, driven by Electricity Supply (-1.8%). Partly offsetting the fall were Water and Waste Services (1.5%) and Gas Supply (3.1%).

Construction

Construction fell 1.4%, driven by Building Construction (-5.4%) with reduced activity in both residential and non-residential building construction. Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (-1.0%) also contributed to the fall. The industry declined 6.9% through the year.

Wholesale Trade

Wholesale Trade fell 1.4%, recording the weakest result since September quarter, 2013. The result was driven by Machinery & Equipment and Motor Vehicle & Motor Vehicle Parts Wholesaling, reflecting ongoing weak domestic demand.

Transport, Postal and Warehousing

Transport, Postal and Warehousing fell 0.3% driven by reduced workloads for courier and delivery services. The fall was partly offset by a rise in Air and Space Transport (2.6%), driven by increases in domestic travel.

Information Media and Telecommunications

Information Media and Telecommunications rose 1.2%, driven by Other Information and Media (3.7%) due to a greater uptake of cloud services. The fall in Telecommunications Services (-0.9%) partly offset the rise.

Financial and Insurance Services

Financial and Insurance Services rose 0.2%, driven by Other Financial and Insurance Services (0.6%) due to a rise in superannuation services related to employment growth. Finance rose 0.1% driven by modest growth in loan and deposit balances.

Professional, Scientific and Technical Services

Professional, Scientific and Technical Services rose 1.5%, driven by continued demand for consultancy services, as well as an increase in technical and engineering services.

Administrative and Support Services

Administrative and Support Services rose 0.8%, reflecting continued demand for employment services. The industry grew 5.6% through the year.

Health Care and Social Assistance

Health Care and Social Assistance rose 1.5% driven by continued strength in both public and private health. The industry grew 7.9% through the year.

Summary comments

Australia

Australia's domestic final demand increased 0.3%. Government final consumption expenditure (2.7%) was the largest contributor to growth. Household final consumption expenditure rose 0.4%. Private gross fixed capital formation detracted from growth, with falls in dwelling investment (-4.4%) and non-dwelling construction (-5.9%).

State final demand, quarterly volume measures: seasonally adjusted

Image

Description

The image is a map of Australia by state/territory showing quarterly volume measures; New South Wales' state final demand was flat in the June quarter at 0%. Victoria's state final demand increased 0.5% for the quarter. Queensland's state final demand was flat in the June quarter at 0%. South Australia's state final demand decreased 0.2% for the quarter. Western Australia's state final demand increased 0.8% for the quarter. Tasmania's state final demand increased 0.3% for the quarter. Northern Territory's state final demand decreased 0.6% for the quarter. Australian Capital Territory's state final demand increased 0.8% for the quarter.

New South Wales

New South Wales' state final demand was flat in the June quarter. Final consumption expenditure contributed to growth with rises in household and government consumption expenditure. These rises were offset by a decline in state and local investment, which fell 8.6% during the quarter but remains at elevated levels. Dwelling investment decreased for the fourth consecutive quarter and is down 4.2% in 2018-19.

Victoria

Victoria's state final demand increased 0.5% for the quarter. This result was driven by public final demand with rises in both government consumption expenditure (4.2%) and investment (3.9%). The rise in government consumption expenditure was driven by ongoing spending on health services. Investment was driven by state and local general government with continued investment in infrastructure. Private investment declined 3.2%, driven by non-dwelling construction with falls in new building and new engineering construction. The decline in new building follows two consecutive rises and remains at elevated levels. The fall in new engineering construction reflects declines in energy related projects.

Queensland

Queensland's state final demand was flat in the June quarter. Consumption expenditure contributed to growth with strength in both government (4.1%) and household (0.7%) consumption expenditure. State and local consumption expenditure drove growth with spending related to flood remediation work. Household consumption expenditure was driven by both essential and discretionary spending. Private investment detracted from growth, driven by falls in dwelling investment.

South Australia

South Australia's state final demand decreased 0.2% for the quarter. Weakness in non-dwelling construction (-6.6%) was driven by falls in energy related projects. Household consumption expenditure partly offset this fall, driven by increased spending on discretionary items.

Western Australia

Western Australia's state final demand increased 0.8% for the quarter. Investment in machinery and equipment (19.8%) drove growth with continued investment in automation by mining. The main detractors from growth were private non-dwelling construction (-5.3%) and state and local consumption expenditure (-2.9%).

Tasmania

Tasmania's state final demand increased 0.3% for the quarter. This result was driven by government consumption expenditure, particularly national non-defence spending.

Northern Territory

Northern Territory's state final demand decreased 0.6% for the quarter. State and local general government investment fell 34.2% due to decreased investment in new assets and net sales of second-hand assets.

Australian Capital Territory

Australian Capital Territory's state final demand increased 0.8% for the quarter. National non-defence government consumption expenditure was the largest contributor to growth.
