Australie Exportations

Australia’s goods exports grew 1.0% month-on-month to AUD 44.63 billion in December 2025, recovering from an upwardly revised 4.0% fall in November. The increase was largely driven by a 3.0% rise in metal ores and minerals to AUD 14.24 billion, accelerating from 2.3% growth in November. Exports of non-rural goods climbed 1.0% to AUD 31.86 billion, led by higher sales of metal ores and minerals; coal, coke, and briquettes (2.9%); and other non-rural goods (3.6%). Meanwhile, shipments of rural goods rose 2.5% to AUD 7.11 billion, boosted by higher exports of meat and meat preparations (3.4%), other rural goods (3.7%), and wool and sheepskins (3.5%). By contrast, sales of non-monetary gold fell 0.9% to AUD 5.58 billion. Shipments to China, Australia’s top trading partner, surged by 14.9%, rebounding sharply from a 1.5% drop in November. Exports also increased to the UK (13.9%), Japan (6.8%), South Korea (1.3%), India (0.5%), and the US (8.8%), despite the imposition of new tariffs.
