That lowered the year-on-year increase in wages to 4.6 per cent, the smallest rise since August 2021, from 4.8 per cent in November. NAB expects a monthly rise of 0.8 per cent in CPI, taking annual inflation to 7.3 per cent. Average hourly earnings rose 0.3 per cent after gaining 0.4 per cent in the prior month.
