National Accounts for March 2025 quarter

Stimulating reading

05 June 2025

The National Accounts results make for stimulating reading for consumer-facing businesses because household income growth has accelerated at the same time as cost of living pressures have eased. Financial conditions are good. The March 2025 quarter showed household income growth of 6.7% with consumer spending rising 4.2%. Households are now saving 5.2% of their income. The dilemma in our mind is whether conditions accelerate from here. We expect the rate of retail sales growth, currently trending at 4%, to persist over the next 12 months. While interest rate cuts will help, a slowdown in population and lapping the income tax cuts means income growth is actually likely to slow a little, making it hard to see an acceleration in retail sales growth.
