Economic growth misses expectations as GDP increases 0.6 per cent in September quarter

Australia's economic growth has come in slightly below expectations, with GDP growing by 0.6 per cent in the September quarter and 5.9 per cent through the year.

The result was Australia's fourth consecutive quarter of economic growth following a contraction during the COVID-19 Delta wave lockdowns last year, but growth decelerated from 0.9 per cent the quarter before.
