Data dump this week

Slower economy, dwelling shortage

There's a lot of information due out on the Aussie economy this week, including the National Accounts.

The figures will likely show a sluggish economy, with policy having slowed activity.

In other news, CBA showed how an extreme shortage of supply has pushed up housing prices.


Normally the 30 per cent drop in borrowing capacity would have resulted in falling home prices, but it hasn't happened due to the extreme shortages of dwelling supply versus immigration.

Luci Ellis of Westpac wrote an interesting note, pointing out that we're still waiting for the dust to settle post-pandemic.

We shouldn't necessarily expect things to go back to how they were in 2019, with some shifts in activity which may not return to historical norms. 

Certain changes in technology and living preferences may remain permanently.
