Australia's Wage Price Index (WPI) rose by 0.8% in the third quarter of 2025, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported. The figure came in exactly in line with market forecasts and also matched the Reserve Bank of Australia's own expectations.

The data, which shows a steady pace of wage growth, prompted little market reaction. The Australian dollar was largely unmoved against the US dollar, reflecting that the release contained no surprises to alter the interest rate outlook. The in-line result provides the RBA with no new impetus to consider a shift from its current monetary policy stance.
