Australian shares are set to rise on Monday, likely boosted by comments from treasurer Josh Frydenberg saying that the country would raise its 2022 economic growth forecast at the mid-year budget review.
The local share price index futures rose 0.2%, an 18.8-point premium to the underlying S&P/ASX 200 index close. The benchmark closed 0.2% higher on Friday.
New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index fell 0.1% in early trade.
