Inflation for the June 2022 quarter

Price rises evident and more to come

Published: 27 July 2022

Australian inflation for the June 2022 quarter was 6.1% and retail inflation was 5%. Packaged grocery inflation was at its highest in more than 30 years and electronics, a category that is typically deflationary, showed inflation of 4%. The good news for retailers is that the inflation remains within a sweet spot with nominal sales growth supported by price rises and a very limited volume response. Expect more retail price inflation over the next six months.
