Interview with Haslinda Amin, Insight, Bloomberg

Subjects: critical minerals framework, the budget, interest rates, the Chinese economy
Interview with Karen Tso, CNBC
Date
Jim Chalmers:
Australia’s interests are best served by more trade, not more trade barriers. And that’s the approach that we take to this. Yes, we have the lowest tariffs from the US around the world, and that’s good for Australia in comparative terms. And most of our trade goes elsewhere.
Interview with Jim Sciutto, CNN
Date
Jim Sciutto:
I sat down with Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers earlier and asked him how the trade war was affecting his country’s economy.

Treasurer inks Australia’s first tax treaty with Ukraine

This tax treaty will strengthen economic ties between our two countries.
Meetings with investors and international counterparts in the US and South Korea
Date
Over the next week I will travel to the United States and South Korea to meet with investors and international counterparts, including as part of G20, IMF and World Bank annual meetings and the Asia‑Pacific Economic Cooperation forum.
In the face of growing global uncertainty and ongoing geopolitical tensions, this is a critical time to confer with counterparts.
