An alternate world of surprises, challenges and rewards…  Global recession…but healing process begins  China lifts, US stabilises, Australia more confident  Inventories, tighter terms, cash-flow issues  Winners & challenges  Winners…home buyers, building trades  Challenges…finance-dependent firms  Still hurdles to clear

Global recession…hits Australia  One moment boom, next moment bust… hope rests with emerging nations…especially China

…but encouraging signs  Boom to bust…then recovery… major hopes rest with China

Australia…on the mend  Aggressive stimulus  Recession avoided  Confidence improves  Housing stronger  And unemployment?

Housing & infrastructure lead the way…  Home building set to rebound… China, population & stimulus drive infrastructure

Conservative consumers

All eyes on the job market  Companies flexible on hours & pay …not hiring, not firing…… Gen Y reaction

So where to for interest rates?  Longer-term rates lift, highlighting confidence… …but at what point does policy respond?

Aussie dollar…winners & losers  ‘Parity parties’ one moment… …into the barrel but out the other side

Optimism or exuberance?  Perception that the worst is over… but have investors got too excited?…

Shares: Fate in others hands  Tight correlation with US… but doesn’t exist forever

Important signposts  Sharemarket turns before economy…jobs in focus

Recovery watchlist  US housing over-supply  US banking system  Commercial property  Rising fuel prices  Inflation/deflation  US dollar & debt  Geopolitical – North Korea

CommSec forecasts
