www.imf.orgI don’t have live access to tools right now to pull the very latest IMF Australia inflation forecast. Here’s a concise summary based on recent widely reported directions, plus how to get the exact current figure.
Direct answer
- The IMF’s World Economic Outlook has, in past cycles, shown Australia living with inflation above the RBA target for longer than many peers, with projections often around 3%–3.6% for 2025 depending on energy prices and global conditions. For the precise latest IMF forecast for Australia’s inflation and the year-by-year path, you should check the IMF’s latest World Economic Outlook update or the IMF Australia Article IV material released most recently.
Where to look for the latest forecast
- IMF World Economic Outlook (WEO) updates: look for the Australia-specific section in the latest WEO release and any accompanying press release or staff statement.
- IMF Article IV mission statements or staff concluding statements for Australia, which summarize the latest projections and policy context.
- Reputable financial press that quotes the IMF, such as major business outlets with IMF briefings, or official IMF country pages.
If you’d like, I can search for the latest IMF documents on this topic and extract the exact forecast numbers for 2024, 2025, and 2026, with citations. I can also prepare a brief comparison to the Reserve Bank of Australia’s latest inflation projections so you can see where the IMF’s path diverges.
