Australia’s import growth decelerated dramatically in April 2026, with month-over-month expansion falling to 0.8%, down from a revised 14.1% surge in March 2026. The latest data, updated on 4 June 2026, point to a sharp cooling in inbound trade after a strong jump at the end of the first quarter.
The figures are based on a month-over-month comparison, where April’s 0.8% increase is measured against March, while the previous 14.1% reading reflected the change from February to March. The abrupt slowdown suggests that the intense import momentum seen in March was not sustained into the new quarter, potentially indicating a normalization of demand or the unwinding of one-off factors that had boosted imports earlier in the year.
Market participants and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely to determine whether April’s reading marks a new, more moderate trajectory for Australia’s import activity or merely a pause following March’s exceptional spike.
