Investment in the key sectors of building and structures as well as equipment, plant and machinery contracted 2.8 per cent and 0.5 per cent respectively. Business now expects to spend $99.1 billion in the 2019-20 financial year, a 12.8 per cent lift on last year.There was also disappointing news for the residential construction sector.

Chinese investment drop ‘no cause for alarm’ | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian National University’s Susan Travis says the drop in Chinese investment in Australia is ‘no cause for alarm.’\n\nAccording to the ANU’s Chinese Investment in Australia database, the country invested $4.8 billion into the national economy last year, down from $9.6 billion in 2017.\n\nThat figure is substantially lower from the high of $15.8 billion in 2016.\n\nMs Travis has told Sky News that, in relative terms, China’s investment in Australia ‘is not that’ substantial compared to Western nations.\n\nShe says it's also important to realise traditionally foreign direct investment is ‘extremely volatile’ and naturally cyclical, and that Chinese investment in Australia will likely increase again over time.

Fears for Australia-China relationship as investment plummets by $4.8 billionChinese investment in Australia peaked at $15.8 billion in 2016, but has now fallen steeply to just $4.8 billion. They have bought everything they want. They have free entry to the country through Darwin port and have acquired enough arable land for food production. They own most utilities and have bought the politicians. They are happy. 'GREAT MONEY MANAGERS'? Your going to have to SUCK UP a lot now SCOMO!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yes had to sell back the thousands of illegally purchased houses, the Chinese economy is slowing & Chinese govenment forced the pull back of money. Just as well our socialist /commo left labor section lost the election & control of our money. Lets hope we get a centre labor lot
