Ai Group monitors and analyses developments across the Australian economy. We produce a range of regular activity indicators, reports, submissions and research notes about issues that affect Australian business and industry.
The Ai Group Australian Industry Index® is representative of the modern industrial ecosystem. It brings together the manufacturing, construction, engineering, technology and business services sectors – industries which together account for 36% of the Australian economy.
