The drop from June’s 3.8% to July’s 3.5% suggests that the Australian economy is experiencing moderated price increases compared to the same period last year.This latest update is an encouraging sign for policymakers and consumers alike, as it suggests that recent efforts to curb inflation may be starting to take effect.
