Why you should participate
Launched in 2008, EFIC's Global Readiness index researches the current destinations for exporters and offshore investors, their motivations, and the barriers they face in an increasingly globalised world,
“The 2010 GRi will provide Australian business with a comprehensive picture of the opportunities and challenges on the path to participating in today’s global supply chains,” said EFIC Managing Director Angus Armour. “We also expect it to give some interesting insights into the impact of the global economic downturn on the appetite of Australian businesses to invest in offshore expansion.”
In 2009, over 700 Australian businesses across the country participated in the GRi. Read a summary of the results of the 2009 EFIC GRi.
“A year is a long time in today’s volatile business environment. This year’s GRi results will help us understand both continuity and change in exporting and offshore investment by Australian business,” Mr Armour said.
The survey is endorsed by Minister for Trade Simon Crean and is produced in partnership with state government, trade and industry organisations across Australia.
