“Digitalisation and the adoption of new technologies, shifts in our industrial base, the energy transformation, demographic change, and serious geopolitical uncertainty are already changing the shape of our economy, and this will continue over the coming decades.” The Hon Dr Jim Chalmers MP, Intergenerational Report 2023.
How tomorrow’s Australians live, work, and engage with the world is dependent on such forces – and how we respond to them.
Policymakers and businesses alike are critical to Australia’s future prosperity. The Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA) states ‘the decisions we make today will shape future generations to come.’ Their recently released annual Economic and Policy Outlook (EPO 2024) report provides valuable analysis to help key decision makers act on the critical issues in the year ahead, and beyond.
To support the launch of the EPO 2024 report, CEDA held a series of forums across the country over the last two weeks attracting some of the country’s top chief economists, politicians, and media commentators. Urbis were privileged to support these important events.
Our own NSW and VIC Regional Directors, Princess Ventura and Matthew Cleary, respectively, hosted and participated at the events across Sydney and Melbourne.
