Trade In Australia
Free market economy is what governs most of the trade in Australia. So, prices of goods are determined by the forces of demand and supply. There is minimal intervention from the government in regulating the trade market. Despite the dominance of the service sector, which accounted for about 70% of the country’s GDP in 2005, the role of trade in Australia cannot be undermined.
