Productivity reform is in the air, as Treasurer Jim Chalmers announces the guest list for his Economic Reform Roundtable. But what exactly do we mean by productivity and how do we achieve it?
Louise sits down with Dr. Jeffrey Willson to discuss what the elements of productivity actually are, and the factors inhibiting a faster, stronger economy. Jeff explores the key components of Ai Group’s recent submission to the Productivity Commission’s Five Pillars Inquiry.
An unavoidable part of the productivity discussion is business tax reform. Jeff mentions Ai Group’s latest research report which lays down several, actionable measures the government could take now to make a simpler, lower, more productive tax system.
