New ABS figures have confirmed that Tasmania businesses are continuing to invest in the state.
The figures show that investment has increased by five per cent over the March 2018 quarter and is up nearly 20 per cent compared to this time last year.
To put it into perspective, this is nearly five times better than the national average over the past 12 months and the strongest State in Australia, confirming Tasmania as the place to be for businesses to invest and grow.
We have created over 11,000 jobs since the 2014 election and these investment figures show why.
It continues a recent swathe of positive reports by MyState, Sensis, NAB, Deloitte Access Economics and CommSec that confirm the Government is delivering for Tasmanians.
But we know more needs to be done, and we will continue to capitalise on the momentum and deliver for Tasmanians.
