QLD Economic & Political Overview The Economic and Political Overview (EPO) previews the Australian economy and politics - at state and federal levels - for the year ahead. This dovetails with the EPO research report publication providing senior executives with insights and information on the environment in which they will operate over the next 12 months. Each year, CEDA through its EPO, looks critically at the key issues impacting on the performance of national and state economies. Through the EPO events, CEDA brings together economic and political commentators and experts to provide their considered view of the environment in which they will be operating over the current calendar year. Sessions comprise commentaries and discussion panels with leading political and economic analysts and distinguished journalists. Discussion centres on major issues impacting on the public and private sectors, as well as a forecast of the economic and political climate in the short to medium term. Keynote Lunch Address: Hon Andrew Fraser MP, Treasurer and Minister for Employment and Economic Development, Chris Caton - Chief Economist, BT Financial Group Venue: |
