What happened

Deloitte Access Economics published a Business Outlook report projecting that Tasmania will record the slowest economic expansion among all Australian states and territories over the next decade. State growth is forecast to sharply decelerate to 0.8% in the 2026–27 financial year, a significant drop from the 2.6% growth rate registered in FY26.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The economic slowdown is attributed to persistent cost-of-living pressures, elevated domestic interest rates, and state government spending restraints. Stephen Smith noted that while Australia may avoid a broad technical recession, households across Tasmania are expected to experience severe recession-like conditions due to sluggish real wage growth.
