AUSTRALIA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Following two decades of continuous growth, low unemployment, contained
inflation, very low public debt, and a strong and stable financial system, Australia
enters 2018 facing a range of growth constraints, principally driven by the
sharp fall in global prices of key export commodities. Demand for resources and
energy from Asia and especially China is growing at a slower pace and sharp
drops in export prices have impacted growth.
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 benefited from a dramatic surge in its terms of trade in
recent years, although this trend has reversed due to falling 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 WTO, APEC, the G20, and other trade forums.
Australia’s free trade agreement (FTA) with China entered into force in 2015,
adding to existing FTAs with the Republic of Korea, Japan, Chile, Malaysia, New
Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, and the US, and a regional FTA with ASEAN and New
Zealand. Australia continues to negotiate bilateral agreements with Indonesia,
as well as larger agreements with its Pacific neighbors and the Gulf
Cooperation Council countries, and an Asia-wide Regional Comprehensive Economic
Partnership that includes the 10 ASEAN countries and China, Japan, Korea, New
Zealand and India.

Effective 30 January 2012 the Personal Property Securities Register
(PPSR) was introduced to give the different
Commonwealth, State and Territory laws and registers regarding security
interests in personal property under one national system.
As a result of PPS Reform a number of existing Commonwealth, State and
Territory personal property security registers will close. Interests registered
on existing security interest registers will be migrated to the national PPS
Register. Subsequently Registered Charges are no longer lodged with the
Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
