The general expectation of economists is that Australia recorded GDP growth of about 0.6 per cent in the March 2015 quarter. However, Citigroup has forecast real GDP growth of just 0.5 per cent, while Damien Boey of Credit Suisse says there is the potential for GDP on a nominal basis to contract in the first two quarters of calendar 2015. Boey says the GDP outlook may prompt the Reserve Bank to further reduce the cash rate in the near-term.
