Australia: Staff Concluding Statement of the 2026 Article IV Mission

September 14, 2026--Australia started 2026 from a position of resilience, but solid domestic demand and the energy-price shock have pushed inflation above target. Growth is expected to moderate as tighter policies and financial conditions take effect.
Returning inflation to target should be the near-term priority. Monetary policy should remain focused on containing inflation risks.

The financial system remains sound, but further targeted reforms can strengthen financial stability and reduce emerging operational risks.

Amidst rising spending and public debt, especially among states, gradual fiscal consolidation would rebuild buffers and support disinflation.

Lifting labor productivity is critical to improving living standards and medium-term growth. Further reforms to strengthen competition, reduce regulatory burden on businesses, and adopt a comprehensive tax reform, can help boost business dynamism and broaden growth and export drivers.
