Australian retail sales rose 11.1% in April 2022. This is a remarkable growth rate with a three-year CAGR of 9.1%. The detailed disclosure by the ABS showed a meaningful acceleration in supermarkets, liquor and department stores. We attribute this move to the rebound in domestic tourism given school holidays in April. Even though we are positive on retail spending, these growth rates are unlikely to persist. We think April is the peak with a gradual slowdown this calendar year and more noticeable one in 2023.
