GDP of Australia rallies in the first quarter

Private investment backed GDP surge with continued firm investment in machinery as well as equipment. It was especially firm in the non-mining sector. Surge in the construction of new housing went down a bit, although recent high levels persisted, which is generally in line with the number of building approvals recorded in recent months.
As for expenditures on final consumption of the government, they edged up by 1.6% per quarter and they also soared by 5.1% per annum. Additionally, state investments dived a bit, although remained at elevated levels.
Consumption of households went up by 0.3% for the quarter and also 2.9% year-on-year. As for the household saving ratio, it sagged to 2.1% and turned out to be the lowest reading since December 2007.
