Economic Growth Indicator Economic growth means growth of economic productivity measured by changes in real GDP over time (adjustment by inflation). Growth can be measured quarterly, yearly, or yearly (from 1 quarter to the corresponding quarter of the following year).

Australia's annual growth rate is estimated to drop by 0.2 to 1.0 percentage points next year or within two years. This outlook is causing serious problems for Australia's economic policy.

"Australian Solution" is a series of institutions mainly negotiating economic issues throughout the country. The Australian government, in most cases, the federal government has become the "economic council" for negotiations between various stakeholders in the Australian economy. At the heart of 'Australia's solution' is to use the federal government independently as an arbitration agency between competitors. We call this "capital" and "labor" mainly. This institution is represented by the unique institution of the Australian Commonwealth Government known as the Federal Mediation Arbitration Court and regularly sets wages through judicial decisions on competitive claims raised by trade unions and industry associations.
