1. Consumer spending
2. Consumer spending by category
3. Consumer credit volumes
Commentary:
- Credit applications are a sign of consumer confidence and a leading indicator of consumption.
- The number of credit applications has fallen sharply since the week commencing 1 March, have stabilised over the last few weeks and are now down around 30% in most states.
4. Consumer financial distress
Commentary:
- This map shows change in financial distress by LGA.
- This metric will take some time to come through as the crisis deepens.
5. Industry financial distress
Commentary (Real data):
- It’s too early to see the impact of the crisis on credit scores which tend to lag the economy.
- Failure risks are expected to rise over time.
