Australia's private sector credit rose 0.7% month-on-month in July 2025, after two consecutive 0.6% gains and marking the fastest increase since April. The latest figure beat market expectations of 0.6%, driven by a sharp pickup in business credit (1.4% vs 0.5% in June).
Meanwhile, housing credit growth held steady (at 0.5%), while personal credit notably eased (0.4% vs 0.8%). Year-on-year, private credit expanded 7.2%, up from 6.9% in the previous two months and the strongest pace since February 2023.
