Episode 35: In Discussion with Ernst & Young: Australian Business Operations at the forefront of changing Trade Policy

In this instalment of Trade Policy Decoded, Peter and Pru host Cherelle Murphy, EY Regional Chief Economist, Oceania, and Luke Branson, EY Partner and Oceania Global Trade Leader. Cherelle and Luke provide some awesome insights into the real-world impacts of the current trade disruption as well as the tools they are using to forecast impacts. The discussion begins with an outline of EY’s recent modelling and report on the impact of US tariffs on the Australian economy. It then traverses the challenges of modelling the multiple factors impacted by the tariffs, how business is managing the impacts and the non-tariff costs of tariff chaos, as well as how the Australian Government could best help Australian business manage tariff-created risk. A fascinating discussion even if we say so ourselves!Find more analysis on the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ACITI ⁠⁠⁠⁠website and the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IIT ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ LinkedIn Page!
