The Economic Outlook for 2021 with Alan Oster


What a year it has been. How will growth come back to the supply chain of the Plastics Industry in Australia. There are still multiple scenarios possible, also very much dependent on the availability of a vaccine which is effective against COVID-19 and without any side-effects?

Last year we were looking for a change in attitude by the Government on climate change and the related energy policy. Have we made progress? How will trade develop in 2021 and will we see a continued effect from the attitude by China regarding trade with Australia?

These are all factors which will affect the wellbeing of our plastics industry in the near future.

For stakeholders in the plastics industry, come and listen to Alan Oster, the Group Chief Economist of the National Australia Bank who will present on the Economic Outlook for 2021.
