To Graham Wallace, Chris Anderson, Peter Charlton, ladies and gentlemen. And so it came to be that as a result of that set of circumstances and that chain of events Australia developed through the 1980s and into the 1990s one of the most modern, progressive and outward looking banking and financial systems in the world. The Australian approach was seen as something of a model and in a number of areas we trail blazed for other countries which in other areas it had been our custom to follow. And in coming to office in 1996, my Treasurer, Peter Costello, established the Wallis Inquiry which conducted something of a stocktake of what had happened post-Campbell and recommended a number of other very significant changes. And it is a source of strength, it is a source of reassurance and what a few years ago was perhaps seen as stodgy is now seen as one of the reasons that makes Australia an extremely attractive place in which to invest.

Economic History Association 61st Annual Meeting Finance and Economic Modernization September 14-16, 2001 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ABSTRACTS SESSION 7A. THE ROLE OF BANKING SYSTEMS Sunday, September 16 "A Comparison between Unit and Branch Banking: Australian Evidence on Portfolio Diversification and Branch Specialization, 1860-1930" Andrew Seltzer (Royal Holloway) Abstract: This paper examines the consequences of branch banking for the Australian economy. There is little evidence to show that branching increased the stability of Australian banking. In 1893 Australia suffered the worst panic ever in a branch banking country. During the crisis, more extensively branched banks were more likely to suspend payments. However, it is shown that branching increased the provision of banking services to rural areas. This occurred because branch banks could reallocate capital from urban to rural regions at low cost, whereas unit banks typically conducted all of their business locally. Using data from the Union bank of Australia, I show that advances were typically considerably greater than deposits at rural branches tended to issue, whereas the reverse was true for urban branches. Finally, I show that virtually all rural branches would not have been viable had they been constrained by the deposits they could raise locally. "Economic, Political, and Legal Factors in Financial System Development:

Amongst the reforms Curtin advocated were national control of banking and credit, national control of interest rates and national direction of investment towards the war effort and postwar reconstruction. Within months of becoming prime minister, Curtin enacted legislation for economic reform that would enable him to put into place his social welfare measures. Uniform income tax John Curtin was deeply interested in economic issues and had gained a good grasp of figures at an early age from working as an estimates clerk at Titan Manufacturing. On 19 February 1942 Curtin announced a National Economic Plan which included pegging wages and profits, closing down non-essential industries and taking control of manpower. Arguing that only through unified national control could enough money be raised to prosecute the war effectively and as the states refused to hand over the power temporarily, the Commonwealth took over the entire responsibility for income tax in May 1942, promising to provide compensatory funding to the states if they refrained from imposing their own income tax.

Australia might just do the trick. For most American investors, Australia conjures up images of the outback or scenes from the movie Crocodile Dundee . But, as The Economist th According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, five-year annualized GDP growth through 2002 has been a remarkable 3.81 percent, versus less than 3 percent for the U.S. And EIU projects Australian expansion of 3 percent in 2003. In fact, Australia outshines the U.S. in many major macroeconomic metrics, including gross fixed investment, industrial production, savings rate, budget balances and debt as a percent of GDP. In addition, the Australian dollar, which had been on a decade-long decline, has begun to rebound. With more than a third of the economy geared to commodities, the currency depreciated on the back of declining metals and agricultural prices and a sharp reduction in interest rates.

European institutions continue to set aside billions of dollars in loan-loss reserves because of their extensive exposure to Asia.

Try Australia, where loan growth is expected to be close to 10% this year as the economy expands 3%. "Australian banks are cheap because they are selling at 12 to 13 times this year's forecast earnings, compared with most industrial stocks at 18 times or American banks at 17 times," says Mike Macrow of Merrill Lynch in Melbourne. What about the Asian crisis? "The market and the media have over-reacted," says Craig Turton of Salomon Smith Barney in Sydney. Of the Big Four National Australia Bank, ANZ Banking Group, Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Westpac Banking Corp. only ANZ has a big presence in Asia through its Grindlays subsidiary, which has a large South Asian operation. The banking system's total exposure to the region is some $29.3 billion only 11% of total loans. ANZ accounts for $9.3 billion. Australian banks are seen as insular and primarily domestic plays. Many analysts believe they are in fairly good shape, with profit streams from local sources outstripping any outlays for write-offs in Asia.

Prime Minister John Howard’s record fourth election victory demonstrates that the world’s most successful sporting nation (in Olympic medals per capita) prefers to play it very safe when it comes to politics. Against an inexperienced new Labour party leader, Mark Latham, who ran a spirited campaign, the 65-year-old veteran Liberal-National party coalition leader maintained his tough stance on Iraq and relied on his sound management of the economy to produce a resounding election win. Australians were not prepared to take the risk with an untested newcomer and Mr Howard was able to secure a 2% electoral swing, increase his majority in the House and unexpectedly gain control in the Senate. Solid growth A strong economy and a rosy outlook are seen as significant factors behind Mr Howard’s win. Australians are the richest they have ever been, with a net wealth of A$250,000 ($183,550) for every man, woman and child, thanks to the booming stock-market and soaring house prices. The latest estimates from the Treasury show wealth rose by 18% in the June quarter to reach A$5000bn for the first time. While the Treasurer, Peter Costello, tried to play down some of the economic optimism in post-
