KPMG
Australia’s mid-market businesses are upbeat, and markedly less worried about the ending of the JobKeeper program than they were six months ago, KPMG Enterprise’s annual pre-Budget survey finds.
The survey of 100 mid-tier business leaders and directors found two-thirds (68 percent) had either used government support mechanisms through COVID and were ’emerging with confidence’, or said that new opportunities had emerged as a direct result of the past year’s experience. Less than half said that COVID or other factors had negatively impacted the business.
Only one-third expected the recent ending of the JobKeeper scheme to lead to a significant decline in economic activity and higher unemployment. This compared to two-thirds in the equivalent KPMG Enterprise survey just ahead of the October Budget last year. Almost one-half had used JobKeeper and one-third the instant asset write-off scheme.

February 03, 2021
Will need to increase local sourcing, say players
With the Central government continuing with its strategy to hike customs duties in the latest Budget in a bid to boost domestic manufacturing, consumer durables and footwear companies said they are re-looking at their supply chains to step up focus on sourcing of components or parts domestically.
Kamal Nandi, President CEAMA and Business Head & Executive Vice President,Godrej Appliances, said, “Consumer durable brands will need to increase local sourcing, which will, in turn, encourage the growth of the component ecosystem and this will enable them to attain scale. The hike in the basic customs duty on compressors, used to make refrigerators and air-conditioners, is a step in the right direction to encourage development of the component ecosystem in the country in the long term.”
