IF the world economy unfolds in the way economic models say that it should, Australia will have little to fear from the downturn in the US.
It may even lead to an increased flow of capital into Australia, according to RBA director and ANU economics professor Warwick McKibbin. But while McKibbin expects a largely benign outcome for Australia, he says there are risks in the way the world financial crisis is evolving.
But the continued growth of China, India, elsewhere in Asia and in eastern Europe will keep the commodities boom powering ahead. "Australia is having its biggest positive terms of trade shock in living memory. That is generating an enormous amount of income for the Australian economy and it is not obvious that it is going away any time soon. The challenge to government policy is how to manage that shock, not how to manage the recession in the US," he says.
