A long stretch of elevated interest rates has likely produced another tepid three months of growth, experts predict ahead of the quarterly economic check up.

The national statistics bureau will release international goods trade data for July on Thursday and lending indicators for the same month on Friday.
RBA governor Michele Bullock is also lined up for a couple of speaking engagements on Thursday, at the Anika Foundation and the Women in Banking and Finance Awards.
