Global projections for economic growth in 2022 have been slashed since December 2021\, as countries grapple with fresh supply shocks in energy and commodities following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. \nDuring a recent visit to Israel\, Mr Cormann praised Israel’s economic growth over the past few decades as a result of structural reforms and effective macro-economic management as Israel positions to increase its European trade. Mr Cormann also utilised his Australian experience to provide guidance to Israel on further red tape and regulatory reduction. \nThe AICC(WA) extends this unique opportunity to hear from Mr Cormann on topics including socioeconomic policy development\, global productivity drivers\, and the use of innovation as a change maker to overcome the rapidly escalating global challenges.
