Prior to the pandemic, the rising volume of people travelling in and out of Australia boosted growth in the volume of foreign currency exchange transactions. Strong growth in the number of international students studying in Australia also contributed to rising industry demand for industry services. Following the outbreak Demand for foreign currency exchange services plummeted dramatically. Associated international travel restrictions evaporated the traditional markets that forex firms rely upon for income. Consequently, industry revenue is expected to fall at an annualised 20.1% over the five years through 2022-23, to total $641.5 million.
