The Treasury Macro-Economic (TRYM) model of the Australian economy has been developed and is used within the Commonwealth Treasury of Australia. The TRYM model was designed to assist in policy analysis and forecasting at the macro-economic level. The result is a model that is ideal for understanding the workings of the Australian economy and for economic research and analysis. The database is separately available as part of the Modellers' Database (cat. no. 1364.0.15.003). The TSP version of TRYM allows users to access individual equations and comes with a user guide for using TRYM in TSP. Users will need a copy of TSP Version 5.0 to run this version of the Model

To subscribe to the TRYM model, please phone the Database Manager (02) 6252 7037.

Technical issues in the TRYM model relating to the change of the National Accounts and Balance of Payments data to the new SNA08 and BPM6 standards are still being resolved. Therefore, the September quarter 2009 issue of the Treasury Model of the Australian Economy - TSP version (ABS cat. no. 1364.0.15.001) and the Modeller's database (ABS cat. no. 1364.0.15.003) will not be released as advertised on the 3rd February 2010.
