1
I thought I'd start first with Australia before going into how Australia might respond to these specific issues of conflicts in the Middle East and what's happening with AI.
2
And, you know, I think the reason a lot of you, especially the global investors here in the room, is Australia is considered a good market to invest in.
3
It's a very strong, stable, secure market; we have a functioning democracy, we have strong rule of law, we have good separation of powers.
4
But in addition to that, in terms of the fiscal situation, we're in a good position.
5
Last year, our GDP growth, Ric I think you were telling me, was 2.6 per cent here higher than the US at 2 per cent.
6
But, we also, in terms of our fiscal position, have a net debt to GDP at the federal level is only at 20 per cent, which is incredibly low when in countries like the US, Japan, are over 100.
7
And also the fiscal deficit is tiny.
8
We actually were in surplus for many years until the pandemic response and stimulus, but we had a 1.3 per cent federal deficit.
9
The UK is at 4.7 per cent.
10
The US is over 6 per cent.
11
So, we've got a lot of capacity on the fiscal side to respond.
12
Also, on the monetary side, while our growth was one of the highest in the world, our inflation rate at 3.4 per cent in the developed world also was one of the highest, I think the US was only a little bit less at 3.2, but obviously so our central bank, the RBA, having to lift interest rates in response to this inflation; another rate hike expected later today.
13
But what that does give us as well is capacity on the monetary side to respond if the economy needs it.
14
Now, in addition to that, strong, stable economy, the fiscal and monetary, we also have here the great advantage of our superannuation system started back in the early 90s, but one of the strongest systems in the world.
15
We're at $A4.5 trillion of savings now, in this market and that's the fourth largest in the world, for us not being the fourth-largest economy.
16
And the good thing about that is the money gets heavily weighted to investing domestically.
17
So over 20 per cent of it is in these Australian listed markets and also its long-term liability.
18
So you can take a longer term perspective, when we look at investments, whether it's in listed or unlisted stock.
19
So that is also great advantage I think that Australia has.
20
We also, in terms of our location, are located in the fastest-growing part of the world.
21
And, you know, even though China's growth was at 8 per cent, now and has fallen to 5, it's a very strong growth rate, and it's a region needing a lot of what we have to offer.
22
So we're blessed with a lot of natural resources, and also tertiary education, these sort of exports, we have a big customer up there.
23
So I think the backdrop before looking at these two specific issues is that we are generally a very well-placed, resilient economy, and especially in times of turmoil, one that people turn to.
24
But turning them to the issues playing out at the moment, and obviously the Middle East conflict is the first of those that I mentioned.
25
The big question there is: what is the duration of this?
26
Because the market, I think, is assuming it will resolve swiftly.
27
And you can see that in the fact, as I said, economies, global equity markets are still very strong, driven by things like AI infrastructure investment, and the oil curve is in backwardation.
28
So people are expecting this to smooth quickly, but it's very uncertain.
29
What Australia is proving, actually, particularly just over the last few weeks, it's evolving, that we, being a country with small demand and being a wealthy country.
30
The government is managing to work with the private sector to source what commodities are available for us.
31
So, on the energy side, you know, working with companies like Ampol and Viva - Aussie listed companies to procure the energy we need.
32
And at the moment, our reserves for diesel, petrol, jet fuel, they're sitting at above where the conflict began.
33
So showing we can respond equally in terms of fertilisers, Incitec Pivot has been able to deal with partners in Asia and Indonesia to source us urea and Export Finance Australia is supporting in that, so the government is stepping up and giving them a backstop, if the price comes off in the forward curve, to cover them in terms of what they've had to commit in payment.
34
We also benefit from the fact that we're sourcing a lot of these commodities from Asia, where they source from the Middle East, they refine, they deliver to us.
35
And we, because we have LNG, we have a bit of a position as well to prioritise our needs and we can diversify literally getting things from places like Nigeria.
36
So I think Australia is well positioned through this and we're not likely to have an availability shock.
37
What we’re likely, probably to have, is a price shock, if this situation persists.
38
Technology is driving change even faster than it ever has before - agentic AI - and it's very hard to call who the tech winners and losers are going to be.
39
But one thing that is certain is that the demand for compute is going to surge, not just in Australia, but in all communities, and that is going to mean demand for infrastructure is going to surge.
40
So yes, it's data centres, but it’s also fibre optic networks, cabling.
41
It's things like energy, it's cooling.
42
It's also critical minerals for things like chips, batteries for grid storage, lithium, copper, rare earths.
43
These are things that demand is also going to pick up in, and Australia is well positioned to deliver on that.
44
We also have some great tech companies, and they are positioned well with large, diverse customer bases - the sort of things that will position them to succeed.
45
Proprietary data that can benefit from AI and enablement for development, you know, entrenched, user models, etc., that they have with their customers, deeply entrenched.
46
So there'll be some that'll do well and as you listen to them in detail over the next three days, hopefully you pick up a lot of insights.
47
I guess overall, you know, again, in terms of AI, while there's challenge, there's opportunity and especially as you look at Australia, there's opportunity for Australia in terms of generally how this country is positioned, in terms of where we are, in terms of energy and our ability to respond, and that indeed possibly step up and help respond to the rest of the world’s needs, and in terms of AI and what we have to offer.
48
Now to deliver on this, obviously all the corporate you be hearing from have got to work on this.
49
We've got to come together and we have to come together with government as well and it's great to see the government thinking a bit more medium term about things we need to do to attract that capital, competing with the rest of the world.
50
Regulatory issues, permitting, all of that; the nimbleness of the economy, catalysing capital from government, looking to partner with private sector on that.
51
And on behalf of Macquarie, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone coming here to present as a corporate, but also to come and listen and to share perspectives and hopefully contribute to the health of the Aussie market as well as to your own businesses.
52
So thank you very much and I wish you a great three days.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
