"Our accreditation in Australia allows us to provide ultra-low-latency event data directly from the ABS to our clients as soon as it becomes public and marks the beginning of Selerity's international expansion strategy. As Australia continues to become a major player in the APAC region and globally, our new offering provides critical and timely data on the Australian economy."
