Join QMCA and Cbus as we set the scene for Queensland and Australia’s economic outlook in 2023.
2022 was a year that will be remembered for a series of rapid shocks to the economy with rising energy and fuel costs, supply chain constraints, increasing labour costs and IR changes creating challenging conditions for businesses and consumers alike. So, what does 2023 have in store for Australia’s economy, and how will that impact the construction and infrastructure sectors? Joining us will be Mark Ferguson and Dan Smith from Cbus, who will outline the current macroeconomic environment, market outlook and key investment challenges over the short to medium term.
Mark Ferguson Heads up the Total Portfolio Management team, which encompasses Asset Allocation, Capital Markets & Execution and Investment Options Management. Prior to joining Cbus, Mark has spent over 20 years working in currency and asset allocation roles across funds management, insurance and more recently superannuation. He also spent a small amount of time working for the prudential regulator, APRA.
Dan Smith is a Portfolio Strategist in the asset allocation team, where his work on economics and markets contributes to Cbus’ long-term portfolio construction and shorter-term positioning. Dan began his career at the New Zealand Treasury and then spent around a decade working as an economist in the banking sector before joining Cbus in late 2020.
