Help EDITIONS Change to World Tuesday, 25 June, 2002, 05:38 GMT 06:38 UK Australia sells Sydney Airport The airport's new owners will keep things as they are A consortium led by Australia's Macquarie Bank has paid 5.5bn Australian dollars (£2.1bn; $3.1bn) to take a 99-year lease on Sydney Airport. The deal, the biggest trade sale in Australian history, gives the Southern Cross consortium full control of Sydney Airport Corporations, the airport's managing company, and the first right to build a second Sydney airport. Southern Cross, which beat off two other bidders for the airport, also includes German construction company Hochtief and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. The government has already sold the country's other major airports, in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. But Sydney is the nation's largest, having served about 26 million passengers last year. Big deal The deal was originally launched last summer, but the government delayed completion amid uncertainty after 11 September.

This is not a transcript.) Aim to provide some wider context around your discussions about the digital economy and e-commerce by talking about the Australian economy, the regional and global context and the Australia-US relationship Golden era for Australia’s economy Opportunities, which the IT industry and those joining the "goldrush" now enjoy, are possible partly because we have a strong economy, liquid capital markets, low interest rates etc. These are not automatic, and although governments are not the cause of economic growth, they are vital in providing the economic structure that allows this to happen For example, the reduction in the budget deficit in Australia in the past four years from nearly 2% of GDP to a surplus of between 1 and 2% is a major shift and an essential foundation for a good economy.

I congratulate the Australian Institute of Export, HSBC Bank of Australia and the Australia China Business Council for this initiative. The bilateral relationship Ladies and gentlemen Not only have we seen great change in China in recent years, we have also seen our bilateral trading relationship change - dramatically. Let me start with a few basic facts: China's rising incomes, rapid industrial expansion, increasing openness and market orientation, and growing demand for raw materials mean that its significance as an Australian export market will continue to increase. Indeed the future for the minerals and energy sector looks very promising. Demand for Australian minerals and energy will continue to increase rapidly in coming decades as Chinese industries and utilities expand their output to build China's infrastructure and cities, and supply local and export markets. But China's importance to Australia goes beyond resource exports.

CSIRO Media Release Ms Wendy Parsons Mobile Fax 18 February 1999 Ref 99/36 CAUGHT IN THE WEB: THE NOT-SO-LUCKY COUNTRY Key business analysts say that Australia risks becoming an electronic commerce "straggler", and is falling behind leading Asian and European countries in use of the new technology, a National Science Briefing in the Federal Parliament heard today. Global Internet sales are forecast to reach one third of a trillion $US within three years, yet Australian businesses have been slow to scent the opportunities of the fastest growing market on earth. "Much of the hype associated with the Internet has been to do with consumers. However, most analysts agree the Internet will have a much bigger effect in the business-to-business area," Dr McCrea says. "Unlike their US counterparts, most Australian banks are slow to accept credit card payments over the internet, particularly from small to medium enterprises," he says.. "Banking is now global, and the Internet is becoming the standard infrastructure for trading. US banks, with a better understanding of the potential of the Internet, are making inroads into Australia". "In previous industrial eras, Australia has been lucky. We are blessed by natural resources and have been an efficient producer of agricultural goods and minerals. Are we the Lucky Country still?"

Money Matters Finance and Investment - News and Views Date: 2 October, 2000 East and Partners Pty Ltd www.east.com.au Demand in Australia's "New Economy" Banking Markets Overview Corporates report an average of over 17 different banking products being used from their banks and, at an average of just over 4 bank relationships, are spreading their business about to secure optimum pricing and performance. Just as the corporates continue to be increasingly active relationship managers themselves, new supply side entrants, in particular the US based investment and treasury banks are scouring the marketplace looking to build off their international account bases with the Australian arms of these international customers and leverage from this into relationships with the newer Australian telcos. Over banked? Certainly not when it comes to innovative banking and financing solutions, as is being well demonstrated by the growth in corporate debt securitisation for example. Over serviced ? Definitely not yet when banker performance is looked at through the eyes of the corporate customer and customer satisfaction ratings remain only slightly better than average for the most part. Relationship driven ? Increasingly so, as banks move away from their historical product focus to one more concerned with the health of their complete interaction with the corporate customer, no more so than with corporate customers active in the “new economy” communications industry.

WSWS Australian companies shed thousands of jobs as economy deteriorates By Terry Cook 17 May 2001 Use this version to print Send this link by email Last week Federal Treasurer Peter Costello seized on sections of the Reserve Bank of Australia's Quarterly Statement on Monetary Policy These pronouncements are in line with assessments by international financial agencies, including the International Monetary Fund. At the end of April, the IMF slashed its growth rate forecast for the Australian economy from 3.25 percent to just 1.9 percent, well below Costello's prediction last November of 4 percent. In response to the RBA statement, the Australian Financial Review The unemployment rate is now 6.4 percent with number of officially registered unemployed increasing by 38,200 to 670,800 during the month. The jobless figures rose in every state except Western Australia, reaching highs of 9 percent in Queensland and 9.2 percent in Tasmania. The ABS figures, however, sharply underestimate the real jobless levels. The ABS recently changed its method of calculating unemployment figures, excluding those who work unpaid in a family business and unemployed people who are temporarily sick. Laid-off workers are not counted until they have been unemployed for more than four weeks. The new counting methods allowed the ABS to revise its March rate down from 6.8 percent to 6.5 percent.
