Financial Institutions and Markets in Australia

Michael Skully

Chapter 1 in Financial Institutions and Markets in the Southwest Pacific, 1985, pp 1-93 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Australia, covering an entire continent with a land area of some 7.69 million square kilometres (almost the size of the continental United States), is the largest of the Southwest Pacific countries. Despite its size, the population lives mostly along the perimeter, as the interior, through lack of water, is an expanse of arid terrain. These inner lands, however, are rich in minerals, and Australia, overall, is truly a ‘lucky country’ in terms of natural resources.
