Australia still shows strong demand for inputs and services. Despite comments that export unit prices are down for oil, iron ore and coal Australia still is exporting at record levels – yes volumes are up. Why as companies seek to maintain profits at lower prices and margins the only answer is to increase sales. This in turn means whilst investment spending may be down Australia is seeking inputs at lower prices. The Australian dollar has fallen from over USD 1.05 to USD 0.77. This means Australian procurement officers are looking to non-tradition supply sources for inputs. For Colombia it represents a good opportunity as the COP has fallen more than the AUD and Australian buyers are being forced to reduce costs, they are looking for value for money. For Colombian businesses there has never been a better time to attach the Australian market.
