Today’s NAB Monthly Business Survey has revealed that Tasmanian businesses continue to enjoy the best conditions in the nation.
Tasmanian business conditions are more than five times higher than the national average, in trend terms.
The Survey also revealed that for the month of April, Tasmanian businesses are the most confident in the nation.
Results such as these point to Tasmania’s strong economy and follow other strong economic news, including CommSec’s State of the State report, Deloitte Access Economics Business Outlook and the Sensis Business Index, which declared the Government’s policies the most popular in the nation, for the seventh quarter in a row.
This is welcome news as the Hodgman Liberal Government prepares to hand down its sixth budget next week which will focus on ensuring that every region of our State benefits from a growing economy and continues to enjoy Tasmania’s unique way of life.
