Speaking at the National Small Business Summit in Melbourne on Tuesday night, Kevin Rudd urged small business owners to remain optimistic about the future of the economy, claiming there is a “rational basis for confidence in the future.”
Mr Rudd acknowledged that businesses owners faced tough decisions in the downturn, but there was reason to be positive.
“The infrastructure we are building, the skills that we are investing in, and you – the women and men of business – taking advantage of those skills and that infrastructure in the future to give us a powerful trajectory not just for recovery, but building an stronger economy.”
Mr Rudd said a reported rise in business confidence was an early sign of an economic recovery in Australia.
