The Australian economy is again at the crossroads. Having bounced back over the past year, interest rates are now back to neutral and the fiscal stimulus is being wound back, but questions are re-emerging about overseas economies. There is still uncertainty about the sustainability of growth.

However, healthy fundamentals for individual markets and industries will assert themselves over 2011. These fundamentals will generate opportunities over time for which we can prepare now.

BIS Shrapnel's Business Forecasting Conferences provide a forum for the presentation of our latest 18 month forecasts and a concise overview of major issues influencing the economy, building and property markets. They are held every March and September in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.

Now run for 45 years, these half day briefings regularly assist senior decision makers from both the private and public sectors with their short to mid-term planning, strategy and budgeting. They are designed to give a clear understanding of the economic and industry outlook through to June 2011 with insights into emerging issues that business will face over this time, resulting prospects and key actions required. Delegates will receive a set of Conference Papers with BIS Shrapnel’s latest 18 month forecasts, along with a summary of the analysis and commentary.
