CBA sees ageing cutting G20 annual GDP per capita growth by 0.16 percentage points through 2050
  • Commonwealth Bank estimates ageing could cut G20 GDP per capita growth by around 0.16 percentage points annually between 2025 and 2050.
  • Australia is among five high-income G20 countries with working-age populations projected to expand through 2050, cushioning demographic pressures.
  • Productivity is the main long-term offset; AI adoption could lift Australian labor efficiency by around 2 percentage points over five years.
  • Age-related spending financed through persistent deficits could increase government borrowing, putting upward pressure on the neutral interest rate.
