Article Abstract:
The Australian economy has shown strong economic growth and a budget surplus, despite problems in its Asian export markets. Structural changes have helped the economy, and they include the dismantling of tariffs and the flotation of the Australian dollar. Privatization and deregulation have also brought benefits. Stronger industries have grown, while weaker industries, such as textiles, have shrunk. High stock prices have stimulated consumption, and there is a current account deficit, while unemployment has also remained high, but the economy has shown some improvement over the century.
