  1. INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS MIKE CALLAGHAN Executive Director (International) Australian Treasury Australia – Japan Economic Outlook Conference 24 November 2011

  2. ‘Since we last met, the global recovery continues to advance but downside risks remain.’ G20 Seoul Leaders Declaration – 11-12 November 2010

  3. ‘The global recovery is strengthening but is still uneven and downside risks remain. While most advanced economies are seeing modest growth and persisting high unemployment, emerging economies are experiencing more robust growth, some with signs of overheating.’ G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Communique – 18-19 February 2011

  4. ‘The global recovery is broadening and becoming more self-sustained, with increasingly robust private demand growth. But downside risks still remained.’ G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Communique – 14-15 April 2011

  5. ‘The global recovery has entered a new and difficult phase. Global growth has weakened, downside risks have heightened, and confidence has waned. Uncertainty over the sustainability of public debt levels in some advanced economies has increased, and the rebalancing in demand from the public to the private sector has not materialized.’ Cannes G20 Leader Summit – 3-4 November 2011
