australia ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The Australian economy has experienced continuous growth and features low unemployment, contained inflation, very low public debt, and a strong and stable financial system. By 2012, Australia had experienced more than 20 years of continued economic growth, averaging 3.5% a year. Demand for resources and energy from Asia and especially China has grown rapidly, creating a channel for resources investments and growth in commodity exports. The high Australian dollar has hurt the manufacturing sector, while the services sector is the largest part of the Australian economy, accounting for about 70% of GDP and 75% of jobs. Australia was comparatively unaffected by the global financial crisis as the banking system has remained strong and inflation is under control. Australia has benefited from a dramatic surge in its terms of trade in recent years, stemming from rising global commodity prices. Australia is a significant exporter of natural resources, energy, and food. Australia's abundant and diverse natural resources attract high levels of foreign investment and include extensive reserves of coal, iron, 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 is an open market with minimal restrictions on imports of goods and services. The process of opening up has increased productivity, stimulated growth, and made the economy more flexible and dynamic. Australia plays an active role in the World Trade Organization, APEC, the G20, and other trade forums. Australia has bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs) with Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, and the US, has a regional FTA with ASEAN and New Zealand, is negotiating agreements with China, India, Indonesia, Japan, and the Republic of Korea, as well as with its Pacific neighbors and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, and is also working on the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement with Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the US, and Vietnam.

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 organizing 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 its 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. Kmarts 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. Kmarts 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%.
