Australian National Accounts for the June 2021 quarter show some normalisation compared with the lockdown impacts on income and spending a year ago. Two-year CAGR household income growth is 5% which compares with retail sales CAGR growth of 6% for the June quarter. Australians have also saved $243 billion since the start of 2020.
