• The Benefits to Australian Households of Trade with China

  

  Officially launched by Victorian Premier The Hon John Brumby MP on May 15 2009, this comprehensive report found that trade with China benefits each Australian household by an average of $3000 per year.

  This report is part of ACBC's ongoing role as a national thought leader on matters concerning bilateral trade and investment.

  Independently prepared by the Allen Consulting Group, the report found that Australia's increasing terms of trade with China delivers clear benefits to households in terms of real job creation, wealth generation in regional Australia and stronger community spending on the back of stronger corporate tax revenue.

  This report was made possible by the generous support of Chalco Australia Pty Ltd.

• Estimating the Impact of an Australia-China Trade and Investment Agreement

  

  Officially launched in Brisbane on 21 May 2009, this report found that a bilateral trade and investment agreement would deliver more than $146 billion to the Australian economy over a twenty year period.

  Prepared by the Centre for International Economics, this independent economic study demonstrates that greater trade and investment liberalisation would deliver a consistent 0.7 percent increase in consumption with a peak rise of 1 percent achieved within two years following the implementation of an agreement.

  This report confirms ACBC's long held view that increased liberalisation would yield major results for the Australian economy. ACBC has taken this report to a range of stakeholders and called for the removal of bilateral barriers to services and merchandise trade and emphasising resulting gains to Australia's productive capacity.

  This report was made possible by the generous support of Chalco Australia Pty Ltd.
