Abstract

This Western Australia Quarterly Economic Commentary analyses the most recent data on economic and social indicators for WA, as at Q4 2018.

This quarter we we see that the WA economy has returned to positive growth, driven by the strength of a number of key sectors. However, consumer confidence, wage and population growth remain weak. New mining investment, coupled with potential population growth in 2019, may also provide a much needed stimulus for the housing and construction sectors.
