Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA) are thrilled to announce an exclusive webinar featuring renowned economist Saul Eslake, to be held on 29 April 2025. While the focus has gradually shifted from the 2025 Federal Budget, attention is now turning to significant global developments. The re-emergence of aggressive US trade policy, including proposed tariffs of up to 125% on Chinese goods, and broader geopolitical uncertainty are fuelling instability across international markets.
In this timely webinar, Saul Eslake will explore:
- The Global Economic Shockwaves: What Trump-era style tariffs could mean for global trade, and the knock-on effects for Australian exporters, importers, and consumers.
- Australia's Economic Outlook: How global tensions, China's response, and supply chain disruptions could shape the domestic economy in the months ahead.
- Key Takeaways for Industry: Understand how these shifts could impact exchange rates, inflation, interest rates, and consumer confidence.
An interactive Q&A session will follow Saul's presentation, offering participants the chance to gain further clarity on the issues that matter most to their business operations.
This is a must-attend event for anyone seeking to understand the rapidly changing economic landscape and how it may affect international trade and Australia's broader economic performance.
