Business Briefing

2020 Outlook with HSBC's Chief Economist for Australia and New Zealand Commodities

AmCham Australia have partnered with  to deliver a 2020 Economic Update hosted by .

The Australian economy is entering unchartered territory. With interest rates at a record low and talks of quantitative easing, understanding the Australian landscape has never been more important for international companies. Join us as HSBC’s Paul Bloxham shares his insights on Australia’s economy within the context of slowing global growth, continued trade tensions, and strategic influence of the United States.

Low for longer arrives in Australia

With inflation below target, growth below trend and the global backdrop looking shaky, local policymakers have jumped into action. The RBA has cut further, tax cuts have been delivered and the prudential authorities have loosened their settings. As a result of this, and the actions of other global central banks, asset prices have taken off. Australian housing prices are rising again and the equity market has hit a new record high. But will it be enough? What happens if it isn’t? What should policymakers do next? Where are we headed in 2020? Join us for a frank discussion about all this and learn more about how the global and Australian economic situation influences your business.

U.S. Election Watch 2020: Who. What. Why.

The 2020 U.S. Election is predicted to be one of the fiercest, and most significant, in decades. For the Presidency, Donald Trump will be seeking a second term while the Democrats are in the midst of a crowded and competitive primary election to select their nominee.

Australia has benefited from longstanding trade, economics, business, education and cultural links with the United States. Commerce and government are always intertwined. Without a doubt, the outcomes of the upcoming 2020 US Elections will reverberate across the world’s economy....
