Jobs, growth – for the G20, it’s all about tradeBy TONY ABBOTT Previously published in the January 24, 2014 edition of The Globe and Mail

Despite the slow recovery from the global financial crisis, the world is in a better place than we often believe.As 2014 begins, it’s easier to be optimistic. In the United States, economic growth is set to rise to almost 3 per cent, with a million jobs created in the past year. In China, growth is moderating but likely to remain over 7 per cent. Even the Eurozone is finally growing again. Of course, the recovery remains fragile and the U.S. taper will need deft management.

Nevertheless, it is worth remembering that globally, income per capita has increased by more than 60 per cent over the past decade alone, and that the global middle class is expected to grow from 1.8 billion to around 3.2 billion within 10 years. Much of this has been the result of the way we think. It’s the conviction that freer trade and smaller government will strengthen prosperity; it’s the instinct that empowered citizens can do more for themselves than government can ever do for them.

The lesson of recent history is that real progress is always built on clear fundamentals: You can’t spend what you haven’t got, no country has ever taxed or subsidized its way to prosperity, you don’t address debt and deficit with yet more debt and deficit, and profit is not a dirty word because success in business is something to be proud of. After all, you can’t have strong communities without strong economies to sustain them and you can’t have strong economies without profitable private businesses. The challenge, everywhere, is to promote sustainable, private-sector-led growth and employment.

This year, as chair of the G20, Australia is in a unique position to help promote global growth. Economic growth is the result of global conditions as well as domestic policies. The G20 exists to deal with matters that are beyond the capacity of indi-vidual nation states to deal with on their own. Our agenda will focus on those issues where co-ordinated international action can add value: trade, infrastructure, taxation and banking. As always, trade comes first – because every time one person freely trades with another, wealth increases.

At the very least, the G20 should renew its resolve against protectionism and in favour of freer markets. Each country should commit to open up trade through bilateral, plurilateral and multilateral actions, and domestic reforms to help businesses engage more fully in global commerce. Over time, trade benefits everyone because countries end up focusing on what they do best. A more global economy with stronger cross-border investment eventually helps everyone because it generates more wealth and ultimately creates more jobs.

One side effect of globalization is a greater ability to take advantage of different tax regimes. The G20 will address the issue of businesses that generate profits in order to chase tax opportunities rather than market opportunities. The essential prin-ciple is that you should normally pay tax in the country where you’ve earned the revenue. For the leaders of countries gen-erating 85 per cent of the world’s GDP merely to agree on the principles needed for taxation to be fair in a globalized world would be a big step forward. I hope to have a frank G20 leaders-only discussion about the biggest issues we face, including digitalization and its implications for tax, trade and global integration.

Almost every country has an infrastructure deficit and is struggling to finance the infrastructure it needs. Worldwide, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development estimates that more than $50-trillion in infrastructure investment is needed by 2030. It should be easier to get infrastructure projects off the ground – and we can do that through attracting more private capital into them through sensible pricing policies and better regulatory practices.

My hope is to bring policy-makers, financiers and builders together to identify practical ways to increase long-term infra-structure financing.The G20 assumed its current form in response to the crisis triggered by bad banking practices. At the heart of the G20’s work is building the resilience of the financial sector: helping to prevent and manage the failure of globally important financial institutions, making derivatives markets safer, and improving the oversight of the shadow-banking sec-tor.

Financial sector regulation is always a work in progress; the challenge for authorities is to keep abreast of developments, not lag behind them as they did in the lead-up to the crisis. As far as Australia is concerned, the task of the G20 is to make life easier for the people whom governments are duty bound to serve. Ultimately, the G20 is not about us in government. It’s about the people, our masters.

Tony Abbott is Prime Minister of Australia.

12The Heavy News Weekly

Investment has been quiet – almost asleep – for an inordinate spell. Is it on the way back? Maybe. Businesses the world over have been relying heavily on existing building and equipment to meet growing demand. There was lots to work with following the Great Recession, but spare capacity is now pretty skinny. US capacity utilization is now just 1.6 percentage points below previous peak.

Past experience suggests we are on the verge of a surge: It won’t take much of an increase in orders to kick up the need for serious investment outlays. It is getting to that point in Canada too. These conditions dovetail nicely with the low cost of capital. True, market borrowing costs may be rising, but on balance, long-term market rates are still near historical lows. At the same time, those tapping into equity markets can ride the wave of optimism that has gripped the major global exchanges.

But will they actually need the financing? The severity of the economic and financial crisis caused widespread cash-hoarding. Post-crisis, mountains of cash accumulated that are now available for the next investment wave. In the US alone, there is some $6 trillion – just over 33% of GDP – of available cash or near-cash. A small sliver of this would be enough to trigger an investment boom. The US is not alone; the hoarding mentality is widespread. Canada’s cash-stash is estimated at $800 billion.

Tight capacity is justification enough for an imminent investment wave. But there’s more. Aging populations are likely to see today’s elevated unemployment rates tumble more quickly than usual in the coming growth cycle. One remedy for this widespread problem is increased mechanization. The intensity of investment may well be greater this time around than we have seen in the past.

The bottom line? A sleeping giant may be on the verge of awakening. When this one does rouse, it’s likely to do so in a hurry. Those who are armed and ready to supply business quickly with the machinery and equipment it needs stand to win big in the next cycle. Best for Canadian exporters in this sector to keep their ears to the ground – those who do are likely to hear big footsteps soon.

Economy-watchers with a bent for the wild side love business investment. It’s volatile, fickle, and often large and lumpy. It shows up when it wants to, often after the party is in full swing. There’s also heavy global competition to win investment projects – it is increasingly influenced by generous public incentives. And it’s quieter these days, heavily affected by the global crisis, less gutsy, a prisoner of today’s ‘you first’ mentality. Will its prolonged slumber continue, or is it finally waking up?

Business investment falls into two general categories. First, there are the structures that house economic activity, from factories to warehouses, wholesale and retail outlets and of course commercial office towers.

Second, there is the vast array of machinery and equipment that goes into these facilities. Together, these make up about 9 per cent of GDP in the US and Canada. It is a force to be reckoned with, so its prospects matter to the economic outlook.

Investment plays a key role in any economic cycle. It typically surges in the recovery phase of the cycle, as businesses quickly become convinced that the upswell of new orders is indeed the real thing. In the most recent recovery cycles, US investment outperformed the economy by a large margin. It is impressive – but it can also disappoint. In 2009 it collapsed, tumbling 21 per cent, and after 5 years, remains 6 per cent below its pre-crisis peak.

Performance in emerging markets wasn’t nearly as grim, but in general, it was shored up by substantial contributions from the public purse.
