It is quite safe to invest and do business in Australia. Over the past 25 years, the country's economy has been growing, and this year is expected to achieve 26 years of sustained growth, equalling the highest record of OECD countries. The financial system here is stable and people's education is high. Some cities are rated as the most livable cities in the world. Australia's resource industry is at the forefront of the world in terms of scale and development. Australia has become a hot global resource investment site due to its considerable land and sea resource reserves, sound development of resource industry and world-class mining equipment and technical services. Australia's resource industry is in line with the world. Through opening up the trade market, new projects can be invested and developed. In order to maintain Australia's advantageous position in the global market and continue to attract a large number of international investment, we will make full use of our natural advantages and continue to promote free trade and investment. This investor guide describes the regulatory environment for Australian resource investment and outlines the Australian system to international partners interested in investing in the Australian resource industry. In order to maintain international competitiveness and attract investment, we will continue to improve the way to find, produce, transport and use resources. To this end, the Australian government and the resource industry are working together to provide world-class innovation, expertise and technology in natural resource exploration, development, production, processing and environmental management. The Australian Bureau of Geosciences is an excellent scientific research institution. Through its geological expertise, Australia's rich resources can be fully utilized. Australia has unlimited potential and opportunities in the field of resource development. Australia's resource industry is full of toughness. Despite the challenges of the current market, it still performs. The resource industry will continue to generate significant economic and social benefits for Australia and its investment partners. I look forward to continuing to work closely with the resource industry to ensure that Australia remains the first choice for resource investment.

在澳大利亞投資做生意，相當(dāng)安全風(fēng)險低。過去25年 來，本國經(jīng)濟(jì)不斷增長，今年預(yù)計達(dá)到26年持續(xù)增長， 追平經(jīng)合組織國家的最高記錄。這里的金融體制穩(wěn)定， 人民教育程度高，一些城市被評為全球最宜居城市。 澳大利亞資源產(chǎn)業(yè)的規(guī)模和發(fā)達(dá)程度，在全球位居前 列。由于澳大利亞陸上和海上資源儲量可觀、資源產(chǎn)業(yè) 發(fā)展完善以及采礦設(shè)備和技術(shù)服務(wù)業(yè)世界一流，因此成 為熱門的全球資源投地。  澳大利亞資源產(chǎn)業(yè)與全球接軌，透過開放貿(mào)易市場，新 項目得以獲得投資開發(fā)。為了保持澳資源產(chǎn)業(yè)在全球市 場的優(yōu)勢地位，并持續(xù)吸引大量國際投資，我們將充分 利用本國的天然優(yōu)勢，并持續(xù)推動自由貿(mào)易和投資。 本投資者指南闡述澳大利亞資源投資的監(jiān)管環(huán)境，并向 有意投資澳大利亞資源產(chǎn)業(yè)的國際合作伙伴概括介紹澳 大利亞的制度。 為了保持國際競爭力并不斷吸引投資，我們將不斷改進(jìn) 尋找、生產(chǎn)、運(yùn)輸和利用資源的方式。為此，澳大利亞 政府和資源產(chǎn)業(yè)正齊心協(xié)力，在自然資源勘探、開發(fā)、 生產(chǎn)、加工和環(huán)境管理等方面提供世界一流的創(chuàng)新、專 長和技術(shù)。澳大利亞地球科學(xué)局是極為優(yōu)秀的科學(xué)研究機(jī)構(gòu)，通過 本局的地質(zhì)專長，讓澳大利亞的豐富資源獲得充分利 用。 澳大利亞的資源開發(fā)領(lǐng)域，潛力無限，機(jī)會無窮。澳資 源產(chǎn)業(yè)韌勁十足，盡管面臨當(dāng)前市場的種種挑戰(zhàn)，表現(xiàn) 依然。資源產(chǎn)業(yè)將繼續(xù)為澳大利亞及其投資合作伙伴創(chuàng) 造重大的經(jīng)濟(jì)和社會效益。 我期待繼續(xù)與資源產(chǎn)業(yè)密切合作，確保澳大利亞仍是資 源投資的首選之地。
