Source: OECD. Published OECD aggregates are used where available; otherwise the figure is an unweighted average of OECD member countries, labelled “OECD member average”. The OECD series for Australia can differ from the ABS or RBA series because of definitions, coverage or frequency. The comparison period is the latest common period for Australia and the aggregate. Where the OECD source does not publish a common period, the latest available figure is shown and the OECD period is labelled.
