A
Message from the PM on G20 Summit
09 November 2014
This week Brisbane will host the
G20 Summit.
It’s the most important meeting
ever held in Australia.
It won’t be a talkfest. It’s an
economic summit – so it will focus on what can be done to create jobs, identify
tax cheats and improve the world economy.
As this year’s President of the
G20, Australia has set an agenda based on three themes:
First, to promote economic growth
and jobs growth by strengthening the private sector.
Second, to make the global
economy more resilient to future shocks.
And third, to strengthen global
institutions because in uncertain times, strong institutions make all the
difference.
Our focus is on the economy,
because G20 members account for 85 per cent of the world economy and 75 per
cent of world trade.
We have a very clear goal: to
boost global economic growth by two per cent above what is currently expected
over the next five years.
All the countries of the G20,
including Australia, will be detailing their growth strategies at this summit.
Our plan reflects this
Government’s Economic Action Strategy.
It focuses on the fundamentals:
lowering tax, cutting red tape, investing in infrastructure, encouraging
competition and increasing productivity.
Australia’s message to the world
is that we are ‘open for business’.
I thank everyone who has worked
so hard to ensure that Brisbane is ready for the summit.
It will be a big week for
Brisbane with thousands of delegates and the international spotlight.
It will also be a big week for
Australia – and I am confident that the G20 Summit will make a real difference
to the lives of people right around the world. |
