Inflation Rate Trends and Forecast for Australia from 1990 to 2029

Australia experienced declining inflation during the early 1990s, from 7.2% in 1990 to 1.0% in 1992, driven by monetary policy adjustments and a recession. Inflation remained moderate until the global financial crisis in 2008, briefly spiking to 4.3%. Post-crisis, the inflation rate stabilized around 1-3%, indicating robust economic management.

The pandemic and subsequent supply chain disruptions raised inflation to 6.6% in 2022, declining to 5.6% in 2023 as pressures eased. Projections point to inflation returning to 2.5-3% by 2029, consistent with Australia's long-term targets, supported by effective fiscal and monetary policies.
