NSW Business Chamber held the Boosting the Economy symposium on Monday 27 July 2009.
NSW has a comparative advantage in that it is the most populous Australian state and home to the largest concentration of economic infrastructure. NSW must leverage this comparative advantage to ensure it is the preferred place to do business above all other Australian states.
NSW’s share of the nation’s GDP has declined, but this is not irreversible. NSW must be a low taxing state, an efficient and productive place that provides opportunities for business to grow. Government has a role to play in supporting economic conditions to ensure NSW remains the business capital of Australia.
