Performance indicators

Performance indicators is presented in two sections to answer the following questions:

  • What size is the local economy? (Gross Local Product)
  • How is the local economy performing? (Indicators)

It is important to set the context for understanding the performance of a local economy within a national and regional perspective. The performance of the economy at the national level has a significant influence on the local economy. Key economic factors such as the official cash interest rate are set nationally and influenced globally but have a significant impact on local business activity.

The economic performance indicators presented here include a detailed table showing how the area's Gross Local Product (GLP) has been calculated, as well as a set of standard national and state economic indicators, presented with local area-level data where available.

Indicators

economy.id® presents the following economic indicators for Australia, the State and (where available) the local area.

These data are standard measures used for presenting the economic performance of an area. economy.id® juxtaposes the national, state and local data which provides a context for observing the performance of the local economy.

Please refer to the specific data notes for more information.
