Australian consumer sentiment eased from 20-month highs in March as worries about the economic outlook and family finances returned to darken the mood, a survey showed on Tuesday. The Westpac-Melbourne Institute index of consumer sentiment slipped 1.8% in March, from February when it jumped 6.2%. "Last month we saw some promising signs that the consumer gloom that has dominated over the last two years might finally be starting to lift," said Matthew Hassan, a senior economist at Westpac.
SYDNEY (Reuters) -Australia's housing shortage may be driving prices higher but is locking out first-time homeowners and migrants needed to fill skills shortages across the country, the CEOs of Australia's three largest banks said on Tuesday. After years of ultra-low interest rates pushed home prices higher, Australia faces a long-term drop in the number of younger people buying homes, which could mean more people retiring in weaker financial positions, according to a 2023 government report. At a banking conference in Sydney, the heads of Commonwealth Bank, National Australia Bank and Westpac, Australia's top 3 lenders, blamed a housing supply shortage and urged local governments to speed up planning approvals.
