MyState’s latest economic update is another clear demonstration that the Hodgman Government’s long-term plan is delivering.
Whilst we know there is more to be done the update shows that the economy is growing, retail is up and tourism is booming and as a result, there was significant jobs growth, especially in the second half of last year.
This is the fifth report in a matter of weeks to highlight positive signs in the economy. Deloitte Access Economics said that retail and tourism were driving economic growth, the TCCI said that confidence is rebounding right around the State, Sensis ranked the Hodgman Government as the most popular government in the country with small businesses and CommSec confirmed that Tasmania’s economic performance is improving, ranking Tasmania fourth compared to other states and territories.
We are committed to seeing this continue and obviously there is a lot more to do, which is why we are rolling out an economic stimulus package that will unlock $100 million worth of investment.
