Trade balance
2009 update on Investment Survey
August 2006
The predominance of EU investment in manufacturing means that it makes an important contribution towards providing locally manufactured products which may otherwise have been imported. Further, a number of EU companies were key Australian exporters (eg. one is the largest single exporter from NSW, while another was the largest exporter of Australian wines). A conservative estimate suggests that exports from Australia by EU companies significantly exceed $A8bn a year see Appendix 4).
