IMF Staff Country Reports-Australia: Selected Issues

February 20, 2018--AUSTRALIA'S LINKAGES WITH CHINA: PROSPECTS AND RAMIFICATIONS OF CHINA'S ECONOMIC TRANSITION1
China and Australia have increasingly strong linkages, especially through trade and commodity channels. These are driven by China's demand for commodities such as coal and iron ore, and services such as tourism and education, of which Australia is a major supplier.

These links are important for China's transition to a services-driven, consumer-led economy from a manufacturing-driven, export-led one. The work below considers risks to China during this transition, focusing on spillovers to Australia.

The analysis uses ANZIMF (Australia-New Zealand Integrated Monetary and Fiscal model), a version of the IMF's GIMF (Global Integrated Monetary and Fiscal model). ANZIMF is a micro-founded, overlapping generations dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model with a detailed bilateral trade flows structure. Two sectors for services (tourism and education) and for metals and coal are added to better track the evolving structure of the Chinese economy and changing economic relationship with Australia.

BetaShares Australian ETF Review-January 2018

February 14, 2018--NEW YEAR, NEW RECORD!
In what is typically a very quiet month for Australian markets, the ETF industry still managed to eke out a new record in terms of assets under management in the first month of 2018. Total industry FuM at the month end was $36.6B, a growth rate of 1.6% or monthly growth of ~$600m, with net new money accounting for ~75% of the growth, or $432m.

The largest flows this month by category were overwhelmingly in International Equities, with strong flows in broad market global products and Asian equities. One surprising element of flows this month vs. historical trends was the ~$40m of flows into Emerging Markets exposures, an ETF sector that has been far slower to develop to date.
