SAFE HAVEN INVESTMENT DESTINATION
Instability overseas reinforces Australia’s appeal as a safe haven investment destination for offshore investors. Trade tensions are likely to lead to more segmented capital flows across the globe, with global investors potentially diversifying away from the US, and APAC capital more likely to stay within the region. Major Australian markets are viewed as among the most attractive in the region. The depreciation of the Australian dollar against most major currencies in recent years adds to Australia’s appeal, both as a tourist and investment destination.
