From the Paper:

"Global economy is experiencing a significant growth and development period. However, this economic development is experienced differently from one region to another, as not all countries manifest the same degree of economic development. Some countries, like the United States, have reported economic growth at a slower pace. China's economic development determined certain areas of Australia's economy to develop as well, given the fact that these two countries have intense commercial relationships. Also, the global economic development influenced the economic expansion of Australia. This fact is proven by the current position strengthening of the Australian dollar."
