Relative to other advanced countries, Australia’s best firms appear to be falling away from the global productivity frontier.Join Hon Dr Andrew Leigh MP at this <a href="https://rse.anu.edu.au/seminars-events/fh-gruen-lectures" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Fred Gruen public lecture</a>, where he will present new evidence on these challenges and discuss their importance to increasing productivity, which is essential to raising living standards long term.About Hon Dr Andrew Leigh MPAndrew is the Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities and Treasury, and Federal Member for Fenner.
