In December 2021 Australians expected inflation of 4.8% annually over the next two years, down 0.1% points from the seven-year high reached in November 2021. The small decline ended a record six straight months of increases from June – November 2021.

Inflation Expectations are now 0.1% points above the long-term average of 4.7% and a large 1.2% points higher than a year ago in December 2020 (3.6%).
