Report Description

Published monthly, the Westpac – Melbourne Institute Indexes of Economic Activity report presents and examines movements in leading and coincident indicators of economic activity in Australia, together with comparative data from overseas.

Each index blends several variables which reflect different aspects of the economy; their combination is intended to give a more representative picture than any one variable would by itself.
