Australia-Economy
A seagull sits on a jetty as a boat approaches to dock at the Sydney harbour on April 3, 2013. Australia was the only advanced economy to dodge recession during the global financial crisis due to strong resources export ties to China. It expanded 0.6 percent in the three months to December from the previous quarter despite a slowdown in commodity prices, capping 21 continuous calendar years of growth in Australia, described by Treasurer Wayne Swan as an enviable and unmatched record.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Australia's resilient economy amidst global financial turmoil. A seagull gracefully perches on a jetty, observing as a boat approaches to dock at Sydney Harbour on April 3,2013. The significance lies in the fact that Australia managed to avoid recession during the worldwide economic crisis, thanks to its robust export ties with China. Despite a slowdown in commodity prices, Australia expanded by an impressive 0.6 percent in the three months leading up to December from the previous quarter. This growth marked an incredible milestone of 21 consecutive calendar years of economic expansion for the country – an achievement described by Treasurer Wayne Swan as both enviable and unmatched. The image symbolizes not only Australia's natural beauty but also its ability to weather economic storms through strategic partnerships and resource exports. As one gazes upon this photograph captured by Saeed Khan from Agence France-Presse (AFP), it serves as a reminder of Australia's resilience and adaptability in uncertain times. It is no wonder that this image has garnered attention worldwide, showcasing how even amidst turbulent waters, there are opportunities for growth and prosperity.
