Region in focus - South Asia

Austrade

To successfully rebuild requires understanding of the market and customer. Austrade has listened to your feedback and takes seriously our role in assisting the sector to make more data-driven decisions. To that end, Austrade has built and developed our 'in focus' series, which provides a suite of market intelligence, data and insights on key markets.
