The Impact Of International Trade Between Australia And China

The Chinese and Australia economies have many similarities and differences, including the size of the economies, growth rates, unemployment, inequality, standard of living, environmental issues and the roles the different governments have in influencing and modifying these factors of the economy.

Although Australia remains geographically isolated from the world, international trade still remains a main factor that allows Australia’s economy to prosper. Australia’s long history of trade has created tight links and connections with other nations. Being a member of many worldwide organisations, Australia has produced many free trade agreements with countries around the world. However, recently Australia has seen a change in the composition and direction of its trade and has developed a strong trade link with the Asia-Pacific Region.

Australia and China adopt very different economic systems in order to cater the best for their society.

Many products we use today are made in China. Trade between Australia and China has heightened in the last couple of years. China has one of the world’s largest economies. It has an increasing role in shaping the world economy, accounting for a third of the increase in the world’s gross domestic product and imports for the period 2000 to 2003 (The Economist 2004). It is also home to a population of 1.3 billion inhabitants, consuming a variety of goods from food items to luxury commodities, toys, clothing, gifts, most car parts and many more things Australia benefits from.

Housing affordability has become a bigger problem in Australia over the last two decades. There is a growing fear within the community that young people are being squeezed out of the housing market and may never own their own home.

The main reasons for rising house prices and decreasing affordability are demand outstripping supply, banks lending practices and rising interest rates. While it may not be a good idea for the government to intervene directly in the housing market through policies such as direct subsidies, there are actions they can take to manage the problem, such regulatory measures for financial institutions,

The Australian economy is reliant on three key sectors: services, housing, and mining. The services sector employs the largest percentages of Australians – around 80 percent – and is responsible for approximately 70 percent of the country’s GDP (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2010). With jobs in a variety of specific industries, this sector drives the success of the Australian economy. The housing sector is experiencing unprecedented growth leading to concerns over a potential asset bubble. An increase in the amount

Housing affordability problems commonly emerge when housing cost increases faster than household incomes (Yates, 2008).

Suddenly the economy drops bringing the housing market down with it. Before you know it that long term investment has turned into a long term money black hole and you are headed towards foreclosure. Now that the economy is recovering, collective home prices are appearing and interest rates are low. Hopefully buyers can take what they have been through and make wise decisions when looking for a home. They will need to take a few actions, along with a few options they should be aware of before they even think about going all in on another mortgage.

This excess supply of home inventory placed significant downward pressure on prices. As prices declined, more homeowners were at risk of default and foreclosure. According to the S&P/Case-Shiller price index, by November 2007, average U.S. housing prices had fallen approximately 8% from their Q2 2006 peak and by May 2008 they had fallen 18.4%. The price decline in December 2007 versus the year-ago period was 10.4% and for May 2008 it was 15.8%. Housing prices are expected to continue declining until this inventory of surplus homes (excess supply) is reduced to more typical levels.
