2002-03 to 2013-14
Where Australia has been…
Economic growth primarily driven by
household consumption and business
investment. Resource and mining
infrastructure is being built during this
period and net exports are a detractor
from growth.
2014-15 to 2017-18 (forecast)
Where Australia is going…
Economic growth will continue to be
aided by household consumption (a
long standing feature of the Australian
economy), but now net exports as
opposed to business investment also
feature. Resource projects are coming
online and the export stage is expected
to add significantly to growth over the
coming years.
Note: Business Investment and Public Expenditure have been
adjusted for second-hand asset sales between the public sector
and private sector

Consistent with CAPEX data, the outlook for Business Investment in 2014-15 remains subdued, with growth likely again to be below
trend. However, there are some positive signs including a rise in approvals for non-residential building over 2013. Non-resources
investment is forecast to pick up in 2015-16 as firms start to respond to improving demand and existing levels of spare capacity are
absorbed, with GDP growth returning towards trend.
