Media Room Latest Media Releases Australians blind to Asia's lures 04 July 2005 This Economic Briefing, written by AGSM PhD student Owen Young, was published in the Australian Financial Review on Monday fourth of July 2005. Owen Young says Australian banks are missing the Asian bus. Australia's major financial institutions are in the midst of a significant turnover in their leadership. AMP and National Australia Bank have already changed leaders, while Commonwealth Bank of Australia has just announced the appointment of Ralph Norris. ANZ Banking Group and Westpac, meanwhile, could have leadership changes over the next two years. These changes are occurring in an environment of declining industry profitability. Interest margins are falling, demand for housing loans has peaked, foreign banks are targeting deposits, and general insurance premiums have peaked. A key issue facing the new leadership is where future growth will come from. One potential growth area is Asia, where Australian financial institutions are minor players.

Within Australia the rise of non-bank financial institutions offering home mortgages and credit cards, aggressive and powerful foreign competitors offering retail services and non-life insurance companies becoming increasingly price aggressive all portend a difficult and competitive market in the future. Is there a case for Asian expansion? I. Case for Change The major Australian banks and insurers face a strategic dilemma: investors want sustainable growth but are risk averse, yet domestic growth opportunities are declining and competition increasing while, offshore growth opportunities appear attractive but risky.

Financing Private Infrastructure Projects - Australian Investment Banks' Experience A Briefing Paper for the APEC Financiers Meeting, Tokyo, Japan, February 1996 Prepared by David Lynch, Director of Policy, IBSA 1. Introduction This briefing note examines the experience of Australian investment banks (domestic and foreign owned) in private infrastructure financing, both in Australia and in the Asia-Pacific region as a whole. Discussion in the paper draws on a range of material, including interviews conducted with key players in the market, government reports, bank annual reports, media reports and papers by industry participants. A broad overview of banks' private infrastructure business is given to provide insights that are useful to countries in APEC. Infrastructure is important because it is an essential input to economic growth. Private sector finance of infrastructure in the region has expanded rapidly over the past five years and this trend is expected to continue over the remainder of the decade. Banks play an important role in this process by raising the amount of finance available for infrastructure development and lifting the quality of projects undertaken. Australian investment banks have developed a strong expertise in infrastructure finance domestically, which they now apply to countries across the region. Section Two provides background for the brief by reviewing important infrastructure concepts. Section Three outlines investment bank's experience with private sector infrastructure financing in Australia. Section Four examines their corresponding experience in the Asia-Pacific region. Concluding comments are given in Section Five.

Internet banking Login Register More info ... Policy watch June 2002 June 2002 Policy watch: Aggressive RBA again signals rapid rate hikes to come Today the governor of the RBA, Ian Macfarlane, made his first appearance for 2002 before the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Economics, Finance and Public Administration. He made a short opening statement and then answered questions from the committee. The tone of his comments was very upbeat, one might say almost aggressive. He was optimistic that the economy would remain robust, and signalled upside risks on inflation. Most noteworthy of all, he clearly stated (in the Q and A session) that cash rates will have to rise from the current 4.5% to at least 5.5% - and possibly higher - in order to prevent the possibility of the economy from overheating. Consistent with this, our view remains that the cash rate will be increased by 25bp to 4.75% next week, will be back to a more neutral rate of 5.5% by the December quarter, and will reach 5.75% early in 2003. If growth exceeds our expectations via an investment boom and wages pressures emerge, rates would need to go higher. Today's statement highlights the risk of an even more aggressive tightening path. The key points from the opening statement and the question and answer session were as follows: On the economy Barring some unforseen international event it is hard to see serious risks on the downside for the Australian economy.

Your Excellency, Mr Sudjadnan Parnohadiningrat (Indonesian Ambassador to Australia), distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. It gives me great pleasure to welcome you here to launch the report Changing Corporate Asia: What Business Needs to Know I congratulate Dr Frances Perkins and her team in the Economic Analytical Unit of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. I thank PricewaterhouseCoopers and PricewaterhouseCoopers Legal for their valuable contribution to this report. I also want to thank BHP Billiton for their ongoing support of EAU research, and AusAID for their generous sponsorship of this report. Importantly, the transition underway in many East Asian corporate sectors - to a more rules based business model - promises renewed and sustainable economic growth. Importantly, it also could offer a business environment more open and familiar to Australian business.
