Australia's exports to surge US$26 billion amid Iran conflict

Australia's export revenue is projected to increase by approximately US$26 billion due to disruptions in the global energy market caused by the conflict in Iran. This surge is primarily driven by higher prices for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), with the LNG industry expected to benefit by an additional A$20 billion. The Department of Industry, Science and Resources forecasts total resources exports to reach A$416 billion in the financial year ending June 2027, assuming trade disruptions continue until mid-2026.
