Present condition of Australia GDP
Overall, Australian economy has not been doing as well as growth expectations had earlier indicated. This is understandable from results of quarter ending on September '08. Australian GDP has grown by 0.1 percent in the interim, when expressed in real terms. However, this does not come as a surprise, as economists had earlier forecast a growth rate of 0.2 percent. All this points to a fact that economy of Australia is slowing down.
Yearly GDP of Australia has risen, as of now, by 1.9 percent. In spite of this growth production of services and goods has not been sufficient in Australia. Also, there is softening of demand, hence there is little chance that situation would get any better soon.
