Australia Inflation Rate Above Forecasts
Australia's annual inflation accelerated to 3.8% in December 2025 from 3.4% in November, which was the lowest in three months, surpassing market forecasts of 3.6% and remaining above the RBA's 2–3% target. The acceleration came as inflation in both goods and services increased, mainly due to faster rises in electricity prices (21.5% vs. 19.7%).(asd)
