Brambles Limited Stock Market Press Releases and Company Profile  Macquarie Group Limited Stock Market Press Releases and Company Profile

Sydney, Nov 23, 2005 AEST (ABN Newswire) - A critical juncture has been reached for Australia's corporate development. Many companies have reached market share saturation locally, and the next level of growth for many is going offshore.

Fueled by government incentive (removal of the 15% withholding tax on dividends repatriated back to Australia) and the growth of the local economy, companies are looking to foreign markets, and succeeding across a broad range of industries.

With the Australian corporate landscape in the best shape for 15 years, the choice is to pay back the capital, or expand offshore.

Australian companies that have been steadily building their investments overseas in recent years are among some of the strongest profit performers.
