Australia needs an Industry Policy Email: Global Web Builders The FSIA In 1985 Treasurer Paul Keating allowed foreign banks into Australia. He was subsequently named the "world's best treasurer". A title which had nothing to do with the interests of Australians but everything to do with the foreign investors and multinationals who wanted to "acquire" Australia. The FSIA represents the formal submission of the Australian banking industry to the World Trade Organisation. A treaty which was signed by the ALP Government in 1995 which was never debated in Parliament - despite the impact that it would have on our nation. Quotable FSIA quotes: "The financial services agreement will directly benefit Australian banks, insurance companies and securities traders."

GUIDE TO DEVELOPED COUNTRIES CURRENCIES Australia Economic Overview Australia's gross domestic product (GDP) for 2002 was close to $400 billion USD The economy is relatively small, but on a per capita basis is comparable to many industrialized Western European countries. Australia has a service-oriented economy with close to 79 percent of its GDP coming from industries such as finance, property and business services. However, the country has a trade deficit, with manufacturing dominating its exporting activities. Rural and mineral exports account for over 60 percent of all manufacturing exports. As a result, the economy is highly sensitive to changes in commodity prices. Japan and the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) are the leading importers of Australian goods. In the past, however, Australia has experienced much of the spillover effects of general Asian weakness. This resilience stems from Australia's sound foundation of strong domestic consumer consumption. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is responsible for the monetary policy of Australia. Decisions on monetary policy are based upon consensus within the committee. The RBA's charter states that the mandate of the Reserve Bank Board is to focus monetary and banking policy to help ensure: the stability of the currency of Australia;

After the National Bank acquisition: living with big Australian banks An excerpt from an address to the Australasian Institute of Banking and Finance An address by Dr Alan Bollard Governor Reserve Bank of New Zealand 6 November 2003 Having a banking industry consisting mainly of banks with Australian parentage has many advantages for us. Despite our country's small size, our banking system benefits from the presence of strong, innovative, internationally-connected players that are from a highly-respected country and understand our preferred ways of banking. Of course, from time to time one hears complaints about "branch office" treatment of New Zealand borrowers, but overall on a day-to-day basis banks' customers in New Zealand do well out of the deal. Meantime, the Reserve Bank's main concern remains to regulate for the promotion of a sound and efficient New Zealand financial system, regardless of the fact of its Australian parentage. The conditions we put on ANZ's acquisition of the National Bank do not signal any radical new approach to banking regulation. However, they do represent ongoing enhancements that we are very serious about and have been working on for some time. These are aimed at ensuring that local boards have effective operational reach over core assets and people, and that lines of responsibility and accountability are clear. We have been able to effect these conditions due to the new powers put in place by the RBNZ Amendment Act in August, and they provide an indication of the direction of our generic policy thinking on these matters.

Australia Needs a Government Bank for National Sovereignty The Struggle for Sovereignty and the Common Good The Global Financial Crash You must take the responsibility ... Urgent call for a new National Bank Australia needs a Government bank A national bank, for national sovereignty! [The call for a New National Bank for Australia] Our nation is in a profound crisis, notwithstanding the rosy, pro-globalisation lies of our politicians and media . Look at our soaring personal and foreign debt ; our disappearing farms and industries; our disintegrating physical and social (health and education) infrastructure; our record rates of youth suicides; at the rapidly growing number of poor Australians, and at the gap between the rich and the poor, along with numerous other indicators. Internationally, we face a terrifying world economic crisis, the possibility of terrorism, and the likelihood that the Government will soon drag us into some disastrous war behind the U.S., perhaps with Iraq. This could rapidly trigger a "Clash of Civilisations" worldwide, which would be a disaster for all mankind.

Australia 2003: A resilient economy in a dangerous world The 2003-2004 Federal Budget forecasts an underlying surplus of $2.2 billion and 3.25 per cent GDP growth for the next financial year. The current 2002-2003 year is expected to end with a surplus of $3.9 billion and an economy which has grown at 3 per cent. The Treasurer said there were good reasons to be positive about the domestic economy: "Productivity growth will continue and prospects for business investment look strong". For companies and funds which invest offshore, the Government revealed the outcome of its review of Australia's international tax arrangements. But there was also a sombre note to the Budget Speech, with the Treasurer emphasising the problems facing the economies of our major trading partners and the need for increased spending on defence and security measures. The Treasurer warned that: "Looking forward, there is a larger than usual element of risk surrounding the near-term outlook for Australia. While our fundamentals are sound, the international outlook is difficult. There are looming problems in the major economies, as well as heightened international tensions, including the Korean Peninsula, and the risk of the further spread of SARS." Economic outlook Overview Treasurer Costello has again delivered a Budget which meets all these criteria. The overview of the Budget and projected economic performance outcomes for 2003-2004 are set out below.

Contact us BUSINESS back PRINT-FRIENDLY VERSION EMAIL THIS STORY Dragon out of puff By Catherine Armitage, China correspondent April 30, 2004 THE city skyline of Guangzhou, capital of China's booming southern export powerhouse province of Guangdong, is paradoxically littered with the empty hulks of towering skyscrapers. They are relics from China's last economic slowdown in the mid to late 1990s, now scarcely noticed among the fresh crop of cranes as the province powers ahead with 15 per cent economic growth for the first quarter of this year. Although China's economy officially grew at 7.8 per cent at the bottom of its last cycle in 1998, most economists now believe the true figure to have been more like 3 per cent. The sound of screeching brakes in the run-up to the week-long May Day holiday yesterday revives the question: could it happen again? China's demand for commodities will probably slow "quite significantly" as measures to curb investment bite more deeply, predicts China economist Yiping Huang of Citibank in Hong Kong.
