Australia's consumer inflation falls to 2.2% in March 2026
Australia's consumer price index rose 2.2% year‑on‑year in March 2026, easing from previous quarters and signaling moderating inflation pressure.
Australia's consumer price index rose 2.2% year‑on‑year in the March 2026 quarter, down notably from 2.6% in December 2025 and 2.9% in September 2025. The Reserve Bank of Australia interprets this as evidence of moderating inflationary pressure, which could influence future interest‑rate decisions. Core inflation measures also cooled, supporting policymakers' view that headline inflation is moving sustainably toward the target band. The data came from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
