2022-23 Pre-budget submission

Seizing the opportunity to diversify

WA is increasingly reliant on the mining sector. It now comprises almost 50 per cent of our economy, the highest proportion on record.  

But commodity markets will inevitably turn. The State Government itself expects business investment growth to be anaemic as we approach 2025. 

Our State is not yet pulling the levers that would provide sustained, stronger growth and diversification.  

Our pre-budget submission includes recommendations to the State Government that will encourage WA businesses to invest and help our economy to diversify.

To hear how the State Budget affects your business, register to receive a comprehensive presentation from Chief Economist Aaron Morey at a sundowner event just hours after the budget is released.
