The MI Leading Index of Australia continued its decline in November, coming to a halt at 0.0%, a drop from the 0.1% seen in October 2025. This data, updated on December 17, 2025, reflects a month-over-month comparison, emphasizing the diminishing pace of economic growth in the country.

In October, the indicator maintained a slight growth at 0.1%, reflecting some momentum carried over from the previous period. However, the subsequent flattening to 0.0% in November suggests a weakening impetus for economic expansion. The index is a vital gauge of the Australian economy's future performance, relying on an array of components indicative of economic trends.

The stagnation in the MI Leading Index is likely to cause concerns among policymakers and economists hoping for a robust economic rebound. It serves as a crucial economic signal, suggesting that Australia's growth engine might be running out of steam as the nation steps into the new year. The zero growth signal warrants close monitoring by economic stakeholders to devise strategies that could aid in reigniting growth and steering the economy towards a more favorable trajectory.
