Macroeconomic Indicators 2012-13
The Department of Treasury and Finance forecasts a number of macroeconomic aggregates for inclusion in the budget papers. These forecasts have three main purposes: they provide a framework for presenting the economic context in which the budget is developed; most of the economic aggregates or their sub-components are used in the modelling of taxation and other revenue lines; and forecasts of nominal gross state product (GSP) are used to express key financial aggregates in relation to the size of the economy, such as non-financial public sector net debt to nominal GSP. The data source contains the seven published aggregates for the budget papers (Budget and Budget Update): real GSP growth; level of nominal GSP; employment growth; unemployment rate; growth in the consumer price index; growth in the wage price index; and annual population growth.
