CEDA's member only economic dashboard

The decisions we make as a nation shape long-term outcomes for all Australians. CEDA's economic dashboard, available exclusively to our members, sets out the current state of the Australian economy – our key strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. This dashboard brings together a wide range of data sourced by CEDA’s team of economists to highlight the critical issues facing the nation.

Our members use this tool to inform their organisation’s understanding of the policy landscape, assist with business planning, shape long-term thinking and support conversations with clients and customers.
