-- 水曜日に発表された報告書によると、オーストラリアのカード利用状況は裁量支出の減速傾向を示しており、ウエストパック・データXカードトラッカー指数は4月25日までの2週間で2.1ポイント上昇し、それまでの低下から反転した。 四半期成長率は4月下旬時点で約1%と低迷しており、第1四半期の1.2%から低下し、過去3四半期の平均2%を下回っている。 一方、月間成長率は燃料価格の変動により変動が大きく、3月に急騰した後、物品税の減税と需要の減少を受けて4月には下落した。 直近の週は前月比で1%の大幅な減少を示した。 過去6週間のデータでは、裁量支出、特に裁量サービスにおいてより顕著な減速が見られ、燃料と電力の需要が継続しているにもかかわらず、裁量サービスは現在、完全に縮小に転じている。
