Australia Retail Sales YoY
Australia's retail sales year-on-year (YoY) increased to 4.9% in June 2025, up from 3.5% in May 2025. The June increase represents the highest YoY growth since March 2023 and was driven by end-of-financial-year (EOFY) sales. Clothing purchases also contributed to the increase, likely influenced by cooler weather. From 2015 to 2025, Australia's retail sales YoY averaged 4.55%. Australia's record low retail sales YoY was -8.6% in April 2020 and the record high was 24.8% in April 2021.
