With such significant uncertainty regarding the economic outlook, as the Australian economy is re-balancing at the end of the mining boom, there is much speculation regarding the future drivers of economic growth and jobs. Hence I am delighted that HSBC’s Chief Economist (for Australia & NZ) Paul Bloxham will present on the topic of Australia’s next growth driver: The role of the services sector at a lunchtime Economic Society of Australia (Qld) event on Wednesday 11 November, at Morgans, Level 29, Riverside Centre, 123 Eagle St, Brisbane. There is a small charge ($15 for members and $25 for non-members) to help ESA Qld (of which I am the Secretary) cover costs, but I am sure it will be well worth attending if you are interested in the economic outlook and where future jobs might come from. Registration details can be found on the ESA Qld website:
