About the BSI
- More Australian merchants use CommBank terminals than those issued by any other bank and this gives us strong insights into spending trends around Australia
- BSI includes transactions made at supermarkets, clothing stores, cafes and restaurants. It’s more comparable to the ABS’ quarterly Household Final Consumption Expenditure
- It also covers airlines, car dealers, water and power companies, motels, business, professional and government services and wholesalers
- By comparison, the main monthly indicator of spending is the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ (ABS) Retail Trade, which covers spending at retail establishments
