2014年備受考驗的澳洲經濟(1)：RMIT Publishing給您全方位的探討

商業經濟環境的發展往往與勞動生產力息息相關，近期澳洲政府的報告指出澳洲失業率升至5.8% ，就業市場低迷仍舊未獲得解套的方案。而部分澳洲企業和國際汽車製造商已宣布關廠和裁員，都顯示出澳洲經濟的衝擊。同時有報導指出，「澳洲預算赤字恐將持續 10 年」，澳洲經濟正經歷艱苦的轉型過程，政府承諾將緊縮財政支出。根據最近的經濟預測，由於經濟持續疲弱不振，澳洲到2014年 6 年止的財政年度，政府赤字將上升至 470 億澳元 ( 420 億美元)。再加上著名投資機構高盛集團(Goldman Sachs)年初(1月13日)表示，澳大利亞今年將面臨考驗，該國經濟繼續從對大宗商品的依賴轉移至更廣範圍的經濟增長。高盛澳洲和紐西蘭商品和策略(ECS)研究公司經濟學主管Tim Toohey稱，“2014年對於澳洲經濟而言將成為一種測試。高盛對於該國經濟的前景沒有那麼樂觀，該機構預計今年澳洲經濟增速將放緩至2%。因此，高盛認為，相較於升息，澳洲聯儲(RBA)今年更有可能選擇降息。 (新聞來源：高盛：2014年將考驗澳洲經濟)。

國 內有許多的投資人都在過往外幣的投資上選擇了澳幣，但隨著全球經濟大環境的改變，以及上述投資單位的預測，似乎讓投資澳幣的客戶開始憂心忡忡。其實經濟貨 幣的發展有其脈絡可循，除了掌握各投資管道的訊息外，能夠從投資標的物的整體發展來做全面性的了解，才是最佳的方案，而澳幣的投資涉及到澳大利亞整體商業 經濟的發展，我們可以利用RMIT Publishing資料庫(註1)彙整且具權威性的學術研究分析資料。其中的"Business Collection"就涵蓋了與商業經濟發展有關可供參考的各個面向，包括：會計學、職業發展、商業法、商品、公司治理、電子商務、經濟、就業、人力資源、勞動力、管理、市場營銷、職業衛生、稅務、工會等(註2)。透過資料庫的檢索介面，來進行檢索或瀏覽，提供了從各種期刊、專著和書籍，這些是經過學術和專業協會、興趣小組和研究中心公佈的參考資料，讓研究者清楚取用學術研究的成果，也是投資者全面掌握澳洲經濟發展的重要參考。
