The Australian economy is on a strong upward trajectory with a projected growth rate of 11.1% between 2019 and 2024. This growth rate significantly exceeds the average of 7.8% for advanced economies and cements Australia's status as the 13th largest economy in the world. This steady economic expansion makes Australia an attractive destination for investors.

Australia has a highly developed and resilient financial system, with institutions managing around eight trillion US dollars in assets. The Australian dollar is one of the most traded currencies in the world, partly due to the country's role as a leading exporter of energy and commodities.

Australia's laws protect intellectual property rights and encourage innovation, particularly in the technology sector. The country's governance is characterized by transparency and efficiency, making it a low-risk environment for business. Combined with a competitive tax structure - tax revenues are only 29% of GDP, five percentage points lower than the OECD average - Australia fosters a business-friendly environment that encourages both domestic and foreign investment.

The Australian Government is committed to driving economic growth through policies that promote innovation and investment. This forward-looking approach includes reforms to improve investment conditions and the regulatory framework to ensure that Australia remains competitive in the global marketplace.

The Government's ambitions to create a 'Future made in Australia' include incentives for private sector investment and strategies to maximize the economic and industrial benefits of the global transition to net zero emissions. Australia's ability to adapt to global economic change while maintaining robust growth sets it apart from many other countries.

In recent years, the private equity market in Australia has seen significant growth, driven by the financing needs of smaller, high-growth companies and increasing interest from international investors. Assets under management in Australian private equity funds have almost tripled since 2010, reaching almost USD 66 billion by mid-2023. This growth has been accompanied by an increase in private equity transactions, particularly in sectors such as industrials and utilities, where stable cash flows make companies attractive targets for leveraged buyouts.

Australia is emerging as a global leader in technology and innovation, particularly in sectors such as financial technology, quantum computing and artificial intelligence. The country has created an environment in which scientists, entrepreneurs and investors work together to drive technological progress. For example, Australia is pioneering the development of silicon-based quantum computers, which are expected to revolutionize industries worldwide. The country's reputation for innovation attracts significant global investment and further strengthens its economy.

Im Einklang mit dem Wachstum von Private-Equity-Fonds, die sich auf Investitionen in australische Unternehmen konzentrieren, ist der Wert von Private-Equity-Geschäften mit Beteiligung australischer Unternehmen in den letzten Jahren auf ein Rekordhoch gestiegen. Der Gesamtwert der Private-Equity-Transaktionen belief sich 2022 auf 57 Milliarden US-Dollar (2,3 Prozent des BIP, siehe Grafik).
