What the numbers are telling us
Market-sector productivity, annual growth was -0.2% in the June quarter 2026, down 0.6 pts on the previous reading (0.4%).
It is below its 10-year average of 0.56%, which is a worse reading than usual.
Why it matters
Strips out the non-market sector, where output is hard to measure, to show productivity in the businesses that sell goods and services.
What it should be
There is no official target for this measure, so it is judged against its own 10-year average of 0.56%: higher is better.
