Economic and Political Overview 2019

This year is likely to be a year of high-level uncertainty on the economic, policy and politics front both domestically and internationally, according to the CEDA 2019 Economic and Political Overview (EPO) report released today.

CEDA CEO Melinda Cilento said the high-level uncertainty meant Australia should focus on building up its resilience through the key areas where it can bring certainty, such as Budget discipline and durable policy in energy and climate change.

“CEDA’s report highlights that US China relations, questions around the strength of the Chinese economy and the Federal Election here, are all fuelling uncertainty,” Ms Cilento said.
