SYDNEY, May 3 Asia Pulse - A mild slowdown occurred in Australia's economic growth during the March quarter, according to new economic data.

Weaker domestic demand offset by a further improvement in net exports were mainf actors.

The AAP economic indicator for May shows gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to have grown by 1.0 per cent in the March quarter, seasonally adjusted, for an annual rate of 4.0 per cent.

In the December quarter GDP grew by 1.4 per cent, adjusted.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics will publish March quarter GDP data on June 2.

Economists said the moderation in final domestic demand in the first quarter would have been partly driven by reduced growth in dwelling investments, while net exports would have built on their strong growth of the December quarter.

"Domestic demand should be starting to come off, so even though housing and spending are still going to be reasonably OK, it's going to be (growth in) dwelling investments that will be down a bit," JP Morgan senior economist Stephen Walters said.
