Australian Services Trade in the Global Economy
This book presents an in depth analysis of the contribution of services to the Australian economy, the regulatory environment of the services sector and its performance in an international context. The analysis highlights the importance of co-ordinated domestic policy action, priorities for promoting behind-the-border regulatory reforms in strategic international markets, and the benefits of an ambitious bilateral, plurilateral and multilateral trade policy agenda that contributes to rules-based certainty and predictability in services trade globally.
Foreword
This report presents an in depth analysis of the importance of services in the Australian economy, the regulatory environment for services in Australia and the performance of Australian services trade internationally. It builds on the OECD’s 2016 publication Services Trade in the Global Economy, and its findings and recommendations that national administrations should consider adopting whole-of-government strategies to capitalise on the demonstrated potential of co-ordinated services trade policy and regulatory reforms to help make trade work for all.
