Message From CEO

The US sub-prime loan catastrophe set off a worldwide toppling of financial dominoes. Companies with household names have collapsed or sold at bargain prices, unemployment is mushrooming in Ireland and the UK, and world governments have cooperated on an unprecedented scale to address this crisis of confidence and fears of deepening recession in many countries.

So where does Australia stand in all this?

Naturally, no country is immune from these events, however, unlike many countries, successive Australian government regulations have shielded banks and their customers from the disasters seen elsewhere. The current government has used the big national surplus to further protect national, corporate and personal finances.

Australia still has vast natural resources in demand around the world; it has major infrastructure programs that will also fuel the ever-increasing demand for skilled and professional workers. The future is still bright. Just as you can't stop a mile-long ore train in a second, or do hairpin turns in a massive gas tanker, Australia is forging ahead with possibly the best prospects in the world.
