The Rotary Club of Melbourne is very pleased to present Phil Turtle, National President of the Australia-Indonesia Business Council, at 1.00PM (Melbourne time) on Wednesday, 23rd September 2020 on the subject of “IA-CEPA - Implications for Australian Businesses”.  This event is being conducted via Zoom and is open to the public. Due to the very high interest in this event, please register early to avoid disappointment via the following link:

 

 

Indonesia is a young and thriving Democracy, the world’s fourth most populous country, and with its US$1.1 Trillion economy, sits only 2 places behind Australia in the G20.  With its large and steadily growing domestic market, Indonesia has navigated some of the world’s financial turmoils better than many and has seen GDP growth consistently above 5% over recent years.  Indonesia sits proudly at the hub of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) representing around 50% of the economy of the combined member countries. Recently Australia and Indonesia entered into the Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA), which offers great opportunity for a significant uplift in two-way Trade and Investment, but also opens up a myriad of other opportunity for businesses in both countries.

Friday 23 October 2020 is the date for this year’s Rotary awareness and fundraising initiative on the trains for Polio eradication from about 7am.  We were involved in this event last year and again we will be based in Britomart when not travelling on the rail system around Auckland.  Please let Jacqui in the office know if you would like to volunteer for a few hours and be part of this important event.
