I agree with Access Economics’s assessment of the Queensland economic outlook reported in the Courier-Mail this morning:
THE future for Queensland is bright, with the state back in control of its mojo.
That’s the upbeat view of Deloitte Access Economics, which released a report that found the state has recovered from an onslaught of natural disasters and remains well placed to take advantage of fast-growing Asian markets.
Despite the two-speed economy affecting different industries and regions, Deloitte partner Chris Richardson said Queensland’s economic growth was “roaring back in to life”.
“In part that is a rebound in coal and farm sector production from last year’s lows.
“But an even bigger part has been played by the resource development boom,” Mr Richardson said.
