India, Aug. 4 -- Australia's household spending grew more than expected in June driven by new electric vehicle sales, data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed Tuesday.
Household spending rose 0.8 percent on a monthly basis in June. The pace of growth was forecast to ease to 0.2 percent from 1.2 percent in May.
ABS head of business statistics Tom Lay said the increase in discretionary spending reflects continued strength in transport and recreation and culture. Transport spending growth more than doubled to 3.0 percent in June.
