The Financial Services Council (FSC) has congratulated the Prime Minister-designate, Malcolm Turnbull and urged his Government to pursue achievable policies.
In a formal statement issued this morning, FSC chief executive, Sally Loane said Turnbull brought a wealth of experience in business, financial services and politics which the nation needed at this time.
"We encourage the new government to focus on polices which can be achieved and support an agenda which make competition, trade, tax and federation reform priorities," she said.
"These are the areas that will sustain the economy and create more employment opportunities in our growing nation."
"The Financial Services Council looks forward to working with the Turnbull government to create opportunities for our future as a services-based economy," Loane said.
"We also thank Tony Abbott for his work in creating a platform for much-needed reforms."
