The strength of national incomes, underpinned by the resources boom and commodity prices, continues to drive investment, demand and growth. But despite the strength of incomes and profits, Australian financial markets have not been spared the bloodletting originating from the sub-prime losses in the US. Will the current de-leveraging remain primarily a financial shock or does it have broader implications for investment, employment and growth? Will the sharp drop in confidence associated with the higher interest rates and oil prices translate into a slowdown in spending?
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.

Delegates will receive BIS Shrapnel’s latest 18 month forecasts, nationally and with state-by-state analyses and comparisons.
