The service sector in Australia continued to expand in June, albeit at a slower pace, the latest survey from the Australian Industry Group revealed on Wednesday with a Performance of Service Index score of 52.2.
That’s down from 52.5 in May, although it remains above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.
Among the consumer-oriented services, hospitality, health and recreation all expanded, while retail trade strengthened but remained in contraction.
In business-oriented services, property, wholesale trade and finance expanded, while transportation remained deep in contraction territory.
