PwC Melbourne Institute Asialink Index
The PwC Melbourne Institute Asialink Index is the first multi-indicator measure of engagement between Australia and Asia. The Index measures engagement over the period 1990-2010, analysing both the level and rate of change across seven components and 25 economies.
For Australia, economic relationships with Asia are now more important than ever. China's recent ascendance to Australia's largest trading partner, followed by the ASEAN bloc and Japan, underlines the significance of the Australia-Asia relationship.
This fourth edition of the PwC Melbourne Institute Asialink Index captures these comprehensive changes in a broad-based measure of Australia's engagement with Asia. From trade and investment to tourism and migration, the Index demonstrates our growing regional interdependence as well as areas of concern in our economic relationships.
