Australia’s private sector credit growth ticked up in June 2026, with the month‑over‑month indicator rising to 0.8%, compared with 0.7% in May 2026. The latest data, updated on 31 July 2026, signal a modest acceleration in lending activity across the economy.
On a month‑over‑month basis, the “actual” figure for June reflects a slightly stronger expansion in credit than in the previous comparison period, when May’s 0.7% increase was measured against April. The step‑up, though modest, suggests that demand for financing in the private sector continued to firm heading into mid‑year, potentially supporting ongoing investment and consumption trends.
