 This is the first issue of Government: Business, Foreign Affairs and Trade. Its relevance lies in the strong and increasing involvement between Government and Business.
While there has always been a nexus between the two, the Global Financial Crisis has brought into sharp relief the vital importance of the two to each other.
In 16 dramatic months from May 2008 to today, Government involvement in the economy has changed dramatically. Business needs Government focus and spending more than ever, and Government needs Business to respond.
The continued problems of Business securing long term and in many cases short term finance all show a clear picture which suggests a future with greater Government involvement, not less.
This first issue brings Business and Government into sharper perspective and as our editor notes we welcome original contributions from interested parties for our future issues.
In future issues we will provide a section where Business can see Government programs available and how to seek assistance.
The pendulum has started to swing back towards greater Government intervention in economics – not only in Australia, but also the rest of the world. It is a time to focus more closely on Government and Business interactivity, and we are doing that.
Supporting this magazine will be events (conferences, seminars, etc) where Business and Government can meet and interact with each other.
We welcome your subscriptions and attendance at these events as we promote them.
All the best,
Peter Charlton |
