Ashurst releases new edition of Australia An introduction for investors publication

The guide assists foreign investors in understanding the legal, taxation and regulatory requirements of investing in the Australian market. The guide provides an overview of Australia's economy and practical advice for foreign investors looking to do business in Australia. 

 

Mark Stanbridge, Corporate Transactions Practice Group Lead, Australia, comments: "Australia has had a long period of economic growth. Foreign investment has played a significant part in these great outcomes. Over that same time, we have seen Australia become far more integrated into the Asian region, including economically. We expect this to continue over coming decades as the Asian economies continue to develop and grow, and as the middle class in Asia increases significantly. All this will see ongoing high levels of foreign investment in this time zone, including into Australia. Ashurst's deep knowledge and experience relating to Australia's regulatory framework (and our global network) means we are well-positioned to help international investors capitalise on the many investment opportunities which are and will be available in Australia."

 

Chief Executive Officer of Austrade, Stephanie Fahey adds: "Australia offers a sophisticated, modern and welcoming business environment with a wealth of opportunities, in a low risk environment. Australia offers a resilient economy, with a positive medium-term outlook and is in its 26th year of uninterrupted annual growth, which is the longest economic expansion on record of any developed country. This guide will be a useful resource for foreign investors seeking to understand Australia's legal and regulatory framework."
