Event overview
The global demand for Australian government debt has pushed interest rates to record lows. Almost simultaneously Australian state governments' debt ratios levels may prompt downgrades from rating agencies and affect each state's ability to borrow overseas capital at low interest rates.
The idea of the Commonwealth borrowing on behalf of the states has been debated previously, and CEDA recognises the difficulties surrounding this concept.
But with this unprecedented opportunity for the Commonwealth to borrow cheaply from global capital markets, should an earnest discussion take place about whether the Commonwealth should be using this opportunity to fund nation-building infrastructure for a growing population?
Hear from an informed panel including Saly Auld, JP Morgan, Pauline Vamos, The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia, Maurice Newman, Queensland Investment Corporation, Bill Evans, Westpac and Megan Motto, Consult Australia.

Before joining the NAB Group in 2005, Adam led the finance and employee transformation practice for Capgemini Ernst & Young, and spent over 12 years in corporate and operations strategy consulting, primarily with PricewaterhouseCoopers and IBM.
Adam has actually had two careers at NAB. His first was as a branch clerk fresh out of school before he left to gain his Bachelor of Business Administration.
