Australia’s imports fell sharply in February 2026, with month‑over‑month data showing a 3.2% decline, reversing the 0.8% increase recorded in January 2026.

According to the latest figures, updated on 2 April 2026, the February reading of -3.2% compares with January’s 0.8% gain on a month‑over‑month basis. The comparison framework indicates that each month’s result is measured against the immediately preceding month, underscoring a clear shift from modest import growth at the start of the year to a notable contraction in February.

This downturn in imports may signal changing domestic demand conditions or adjustments in external trade flows, although the data released only capture the headline month‑over‑month swings without providing underlying sector details.
