Part 2/7:
The ongoing economic growth in Australia is noteworthy since the country has effectively navigated challenges like the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) with relative ease. The Australian government's robust balance sheet during the GFC allowed for significant fiscal intervention. Stimulus measures, including direct payments to citizens, were employed to stimulate spending and support the economy. This quick injection of funds and investment initiatives helped Australia sidestep a deep recession that many other nations faced at the time.
