Sign InAustralia's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) expanded by 0.8% on a quarterly basis in the final three months of 2025, according to data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). This figure surpassed market expectations, which had anticipated a more modest growth rate of 0.6%. The result marks a significant acceleration from the 0.4% growth recorded in the third quarter, signaling resilient economic momentum. Analysts suggest that the stronger-than-expected performance reflects robust domestic activity despite global headwinds. For currency markets, the data provides support for the Australian Dollar (AUD) as it may influence the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) future monetary policy path. The positive surprise reduces immediate pressure on policymakers to consider interest rate cuts in the near term.
