Westpac-Melbourne Institute Leading Index September 2015
Elliot Clarke
Westpac
The six month annualised deviation from trend growth rate in the Westpac-Melbourne Institute Leading Index (which indicates the likely pace of economic activity three to nine months into the future) increased from –1.14% in August to –0.35% in September. This is the fifth consecutive month the index has been below trend. Westpac expects growth in 2016 to be around trend, circa 2.75%. The September Leading Index result suggests that the risks to this forecast are to the downside. (VIEW LINK)
