The December quarter national accounts will be released on Wednesday after the Australian Bureau of Statistics issues various inputs into the gross domestic product (GDP) figures earlier in the week.
NAB economists expect to see 0.8 per cent quarterly growth and a 2.8 per cent annual increase in GDP in part thanks to resilient household spending.
Chief economist Alan Oster and his colleagues expect to see a large boost to net exports and a strong labour cost result as demand for workers remains strong.
"Looking forward, we expect growth to slow sharply from here, driven by flat to negative outcomes for consumption in the second half of 2023 as the full impact of higher rates and inflation flows through," they said.
The economists don't believe the GDP figure will do much to influence the Reserve Bank's interest rate decisions, however, and they expect the national accounts to confirm the broad-based inflationary pressures in the economy.
The ABS will release business indicator data on Monday, followed by trade accounts on Tuesday.
