Been great speaking and attending the #RMBforum in Melbourne. Much discussion around the internationalisation of the #RMB. For #commodity markets, RMB-denominated futures are increasing market share; but hard to see them replace USD commodity futures for the foreseeable future.

Thanks to all the speakers, panellists and sponsors at the Australian Renminbi Forum in Melbourne. Great conversations around #RMB #BeltandRoad #GreaterBayArea #CrossBorderInvestment #commodities

Well done ⁦David Olsson⁩ and ⁦ACBC⁩. Australia’s links with China deserve a show of support, particularly at a difficult time like this. theaustralian.com.au/business/leade…

Well considered views by Dominic Meagher on next steps in Australia’s coronavirus strategy. “Knowing someone is standing beside you in tough times is also important for public health” lowyinstitute.org/the-interprete… via The Lowy Institute.

Thanks Alistair Nicholas. Lifting the #caronavirus travel ban in a way that balances health and economic interest is possible. Recovery will take time but reopening our doors to the people that form the fabric of the bilateral rel’ship may be a good place to start. ACBC

China’s 2020 Gov’t Work Plan touches almost every aspect of Chinese economy and society. Heavy focus on growth of domestic economy but essential reading to understand where China is heading.

Are you passionate about leading Australia’s business engagement with China? We are looking for an exceptional CEO to lead and implement ACBC’s strategies nationally and shape and influence the culture, capability and success of the organisation.
