AmCham Brisbane: 2020 Outlook with HSBC's Chief Economist for Australia and NZ Commodities

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

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.
