AUSTRALIA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Australia's abundant and diverse natural resources attract high levels of foreign investment and include extensive reserves of coal, iron ore, copper, gold, natural gas, uranium, and renewable energy sources. A series of major investments, such as the US$40 billion Gorgon Liquid Natural Gas project, will significantly expand the resources sector. Australia also has a large services sector and is a significant exporter of natural resources, energy, and food. Key tenets of Australia''s trade policy include support for open trade and the successful culmination of the Doha Round of multilateral trade negotiations, particularly for agriculture and services. The Australian economy grew for 17 consecutive years before the global financial crisis. Subsequently, the former RUDD government introduced a fiscal stimulus package worth over US$50 billion to offset the effect of the slowing world economy, while the Reserve Bank of Australia cut interest rates to historic lows. These policies - and continued demand for commodities, especially from China - helped the Australian economy rebound after just one quarter of negative growth. The economy grew by 1.4% during 2009 - the best performance in the OECD - by 2.7% in 2010, and by 1.8% in 2011. Unemployment, originally expected to reach 8-10%, peaked at 5.7% in late 2009 and fell to 5.0% in 2011. As a result of an improved economy, the budget deficit is expected to peak below 4.2% of GDP and the government could return to budget surpluses as early as 2015. Australia was one of the first advanced economies to raise interest rates, with seven rate hikes between October 2009 and November 2010. The GILLARD government is focused on raising Australia''s economic productivity to ensure the sustainability of growth, and continues to manage the symbiotic, but sometimes tense, economic relationship with China. Australia is engaged in the Trans-Pacific Partnership talks and ongoing free trade agreement negotiations with China, Japan, and Korea.

History : Kmart Australia Limited was born out of a joint venture between G.J Coles

& Coy Limited (Coles) and S.S. Kresge Company in the US, with Kresge

owning 51% of the common stock in the company. They began organising

to develop Kmart stores in Australia in 1968.

The first store opened in Burwood East, Victoria in April 1969. The

Burwood store opened to intense interest, with over 40,000 people passing

through the checkouts on the first day. The doors had been closed 45

minutes after opening as a safety measure.

In 1978 Kresge exchanged it's 51% stake in Kmart Australia for a 20%

stake in Coles, then in 1994 Coles bought back all Coles shares from

Kresge. A long-term licensing agreement allows Wesfarmers to use the

Kmart name in Australia and New Zealand. In 2006, Coles Group

announced its plans for Kmart, along with BI-LO and the Coles Group

liquor brands, to be merged into the Coles brand. The merger would have

seen a variety of Coles stores with different purposes,including food,

merchandise, petrol and liquor. The plan was for the first re-branded store

to open in 2007, with 40 stores, mostly former 'Super K' stores divided last

decade into separate Coles and Kmart stores, reformed into Coles

Superstores. However, in March 2007, Coles Group announced that the

plans for these super centres were being deferred, pending the sale of all

or part of Coles Group. In August 2007, Wesfarmers CEO Richard Goyder

said super centres would almost certainly not be part of the Wesfarmers

approach after taking over Coles Group. Kmart's performance immediately

prior to the Wesfarmers takeover was poor. In May 2007, it reported a

sales drop of 3.2% for the third quarter, and an overall drop in sales of

3.9% for the first three quarters. Announcing its plans in August 2007 for

Coles Group following their expected takeover, Wesfarmers said it would

consider selling all or part of Kmart, or converting some stores to the

Target brand.

Wesfarmers took control of Coles Group in November 2007 and by March

2008 had decided to retain Kmart and invest $300m in the chain over the

next five years. During the first financial year of the Wesfarmers takeover

(November 2007 to June 2008), Kmart reported revenue of A$2.45 billion,

and EBIT of A$111 million. Kmart's performance during the 2009 financial

year was quite poor; reporting revenue of A$4 billion and an EBIT of A$109

million. The 2010 financial year saw Kmart with a large increase in EBIT,

reporting revenue of A$4.02 billion and an EBIT of A$190 million, which

was an increase in EBIT of over 74%.
