FSC welcomes the new Government’s Treasury team.

The Financial Services Council has welcomed the new appointments to the Treasury portfolio.

John Brogden CEO of the Financial Services Council said: “With Joe Hockey, Arthur Sinodinos and Steven Ciobo we have a strong team in Treasury which will well represent the financial services industry in its next growth phase.”

“As a former Treasury economist and chief of staff to John Howard, Arthur Sinodinos has unparalleled experienced for the role as Assistant Treasurer,” Mr Brogden said.

“We have worked with Mr Sinodinos over the past few yeas and look forward to continuing this in his role as Assistant Treasurer.

“The new Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer, Steven Ciobo, represents the next generation of Australian Coalition MPs.”

“Mr Ciobo has been a strong advocate for less regulation and red tape,” Mr Brogden said.

Mr Brogden also said: “While we are disappointed to lose Mathias Cormann after his strong contribution to the financial services industry over the past three years, we understand he is talented and congratulate him on his appointment to Cabinet.”
