Independent economist and one of Australia's most-quoted commentators on housing, productivity and macro policy.
Saul Eslake is one of the most respected independent economists in the country, with a career that includes long stretches as chief economist at ANZ and Bank of America Merrill Lynch in Australia. He now runs his own consultancy from Hobart and is a fellow of the University of Tasmania.
Saul is the speaker organisations book when they want someone who'll actually tell them what he thinks. He's been one of the most consistent and credible voices in Australia on housing affordability, productivity, federal-state fiscal arrangements and the structural challenges that don't fit neatly into a quarterly market call. His commentary is data-driven, plainly argued and refreshingly free of marketing spin.
Saul is a top-tier choice for financial services, professional services and any event where the audience deserves a serious, independent economist.
Saul Eslake is a keynote speaker based in Tasmania who speaks on business strategy, finance & economics and media & journalism. Book through Executive Speakers Australia.

What it means for Australia
By the end of the decade Asia will account for 39% of the world's GDP. Considering that around 75% of Australian exports are going to Asia, you simply can’t understand the nation's long-term economic prospects without a good understanding of what’s happening in the major Asian economies. Saul Eslake's profound knowledge of these emerging economic powers can help corporations worldwide understand what the global distribution of economic production will look like for their business, assess their 'readiness' to adapt to these new markets, and much more.
