The Australian economy has demonstrated resilience, recording a 0.8% expansion in the December quarter of 2025.
Data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics reveals a 2.6% annual growth rate, underpinned by broad-based gains across 17 of the nation's 19 primary industries.
According to Grace Kim, ABS Head of National Accounts, both public and private demand were instrumental, each contributing 0.3 percentage points to the headline GDP figure.
GDP per capita has risen for four consecutive quarters, marking its strongest annual performance since late 2022.
Household resilience remained a key theme, with discretionary spending climbing 0.4%, fueled by record-breaking Black Friday sales and a surge in attendance at major sporting and concert events.
