In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, Australia’s economy has fared better than most Western economies. A favourable geography assisted, as did adept economic policy responses.
A solid customer-led upswing is now firmly underway. Vaccines are anticipated to be rolled out in the coming months, which is likely to add to consumer confidence. Substantial government stimulus packages have boosted household savings, which is likely to facilitate ongoing consumer spending as restrictions ease and more services become available.
Coraggio is delighted to extend to you a complimentary invitation to join us to hear first-hand how we can expand and future-proof your business, followed by an exclusive keynote speaker session with one of Australia’s leading economists, Paul Bloxham.
Opened by our CEO, Richard Skarzynski, who will discuss how being part of a Coraggio peer-to-peer Advisory Board provides a sustainable solution to navigate your business effectively throughout 2021 and beyond.
Followed by Paul Bloxham who will provide insights into:
- Why Australia has fared better than most Western economies during the COVID-19 pandemic
- A domestic upswing is underway and will be supported by a vaccine rollout in 2021
- Cross-border issues, a post-pandemic ‘new normal’, monetary policy limits and a rising AUD all present challenges for the year ahead.
