Outlook - Australian Economic Growth Moderate

  • Australia continues to slowly re-balance away from resources to more broad-based economic growth

  • Business confidence is reasonable and capex surveys are positive for non-mining business investment with some major infrastructure projects underway

  • However, consumer spending is likely to be subdued for some time and residential building is now falling and will be a drag on growth for the next few years

  • The Australian dollar is adjusting lower and providing more support to exports and overall economic competitiveness

==> picture [331 x 181] intentionally omitted <==

Source: NAB/JLL. As at 30 June 2017

  • Trade wars, China’s continued slowdown and other geopolitical risks all provide negative downside risk

Australian GPD Growth Rate

  • GDP growth is expected to remain within its current band of 2 to 3% p.a. RBA unlikely to increase rates in the short term

Cromwell’s strategy is to seek some measured exposure outside of Australia for diversification purposes

20

Outlook - Euro ean Economic Recover Pauses p y

  • Eurozone economic growth slowed in the first two quarters of 2018 but is still expected to be >2.0% for 2018

EU GDP Growth Rate Maintained

  • The purchasing managers index (PMIs) subsequently rose again in June, driven by stronger activity in services

  • Rising European bond yields are also reflecting prospects of stronger Eurozone growth as well as tighter monetary policy (ECB has begun QE tapering, UK has raised rates)

  • Risks remain however (Trade Wars and Brexit) especially for the externally-oriented manufacturing sector

  • There is ongoing momentum in the European economy – stronger labour markets and increasing capital investment are generally boosting confidence and extending the cycle

Global Capital Flows to Europe

Cromwell has invested in Europe for diversification purposes and to benefit from the European economic recovery and strong demand for commercial real estate
