- Economic growth nearly grinded to a halt in the first three months of year as the war in the Middle East and rising interest rates began to take their toll. Australia's economy grew at a sluggish pace of 0.3 per cent in the March quarter, much weaker than the 0.9 per cent recorded in the previous quarter. The rapid slowdown in the quarterly rate of growth coincided with the Reserve Bank's decision to lift interest rates in February and March. On an annual basis, the economy grew by 2.5 per cent. The ABC spoke to a hairdresser, builder and a greengrocer, who all say they're feeling the pinch. They say they're copping a double whammy from higher interest rates and inflation, and their customers are cutting back on spending or cancelling jobs all together. Spending on luxury items barely rose, at just 0.1 per cent. But household spent most of their money on essentials, driven by an 11.7 per cent lift on electricity and fuel as the oil crisis ramped up.
