Ai GROUP STATEMENT Ahead of the Queensland Government’s 2019-20 Budget:
“Official figures show that the Queensland economy is maintaining positive momentum as LNG exports provide a more significant contribution to growth and the state’s recovery becomes more broadly based. Economic conditions are being supported by an improvement in business equipment investment, strength in services exports and a pick-up in population growth. A competitive Australian dollar and high key Queensland commodity prices, particularly for coking coal, are further major positives for export incomes, profits and government revenue.”
