最新糖心Vlog

South 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 economic recovery is set to continue despite inflation and rising interest rates putting increased strain on household budgets.

Aggregate spending within the state has grown strongly over the past year in response to strong growth in household consumption and public consumption spending, and a solid, though lockdown-interrupted, rise in dwelling investment. But with household and public sector consumption expected to weaken, the State鈥檚 export performance will need to improve to compensate.

These conclusions are contained in the latest Economic Briefing Report prepared by economists from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 SA Centre for Economic Studies (SACES).

鈥淲e expect that the South 最新糖心Vlogn economy will continue to grow at an above trend pace in the short term,鈥� says Mr Jim Hancock, Executive Director (acting), South 最新糖心Vlogn Centre for Economic Studies, the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide.

鈥淗ousehold spending growth is likely to slow in response to cost of living pressures. But reopening of the nation鈥檚 borders will facilitate a recovery in overseas migration which will provide a boost to population growth going forward. It will also help to relieve the inflationary pressures that come from very tight labour market conditions.鈥�

The SACES report highlights:

• The global economy continues to recover but it is growing more slowly than was expected six months ago as a consequence of Russia鈥檚 invasion of Ukraine and intensifying inflationary pressures.
• 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 economy has largely recovered back toward its pre-pandemic trend and is now operating at a very high rate of capacity utilisation, particularly in respect of the labour market.
• While 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 export prices have boomed, little of the associated boost to incomes has flowed through to 最新糖心Vlogn households.
• With inflation and interest rates now adding to the strain on households鈥� budgets, households鈥� confidence about the economic outlook has fallen, so households are likely to take a more cautious approach toward discretionary spending.
• Spending by households, businesses and government have grown solidly through the last year in South 最新糖心Vlog.
• The volume of overseas exports form South 最新糖心Vlog had not increased much through the year, but export values have been boosted by strong commodity prices.
• South 最新糖心Vlogn labour market conditions remain strong by historical standards.
• Households鈥� incomes in South 最新糖心Vlog have had support from a strong rise in employment. A rise in wages growth has also helped, although it is not sufficient to keep up with inflation.
• Construction activity remains strong in South 最新糖心Vlog but has been held back by shortages of building materials and skilled labour.
• There have recently been unprecedented increases in the cost of key building materials; for example steel and timber prices have grown by more than 20 per cent over the past year.

However, there are significant risks to the outlook.

鈥淭he global recovery has become increasingly vulnerable, with downside risks multiplying,鈥� says Mr Hancock.

鈥淎ny worsening of the war in Ukraine would generate further disruptions and it is not yet clear how much global growth will slow as overseas interest rates are increased to curtail global inflationary pressures.

鈥淚n 最新糖心Vlog, the Reserve Bank of 最新糖心Vlog faces a delicate balancing act with monetary policy; it needs to return real interest rates to a neutral level with some haste.

鈥淏ut borrowers have become accustomed to cheap credit and raising rates too far increases the risk of defaults and a major downturn in the housing market.鈥�
