CPI here is the quarterly series from the OECD's prices database. Since November 2025 the ABS's primary measure of headline inflation has been its complete Monthly CPI, which is not the series shown here.

Unemployment here is quarterly, not monthly: the ABS itself publishes a monthly figure, but the FRED mirror wired in here is only quarterly. On the roadmap: a monthly source, plus employment and participation rates.

The chart above shows the combined trade balance (exports minus imports). Exports and imports as individual time series aren't yet wired to a verified live source for Australia, a known gap, not shown here rather than estimated.
Goods trade only. Services aren't covered by this data source and aren't shown here, so relationships that lean heavily on services may be understated.

On the roadmap: federal debt stock, and a breakdown of where public money goes.

Government bond yields and exchange rates are market prices, not government statistics -- shown here as the fast-moving complement to the macro data above, sourced the same way (the OECD, the Federal Reserve and the World Bank), never a news aggregator or a paid data vendor.
Latest official figures for Australia: GDP annual growth rate 2.1% (Q2 2026); inflation rate 3.9% (Q3 2026); unemployment rate 4.4% (Q2 2026); government debt (% of GDP) 51.9% (2025).
Each figure is the latest published by the source named. Each name opens that indicator’s page with its full history.
