Otmane El Rhazi : Australian Budget to suffer from iron-ore collapse, Treasurer tells media

Australian Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey on Monday said he could have been “more prudent” with an iron-ore price forecast when announcing the mid-year Budget update, in December, and that he was factoring in a price as low as $35/t for next month’s Budget announcement. Speaking to the ABC TV from New York on Monday, Hockey said that there was no doubt that the falling iron-ore price would have an impact of Australia’s Budget, given that the commodity was the country’s largest export.
