The Crisafulli Government is supporting jobs and economic growth across the State, with an ambitious trade reset delivering a landmark $5 billion in exports and investments through Trade and Investment Queensland.
Trade and Investment Queensland has achieved record results in the past financial year after helping deliver more than $3 billion worth of trade and investment deals, and the agency’s involvement in international trade and investment has supported the creation of more than 5,500 jobs under the Crisafulli Government.
Businesses and communities all over the State have been given a major boost since November 2024, with almost half of the record results being delivered alongside companies based in regional Queensland.
It’s further proof the Crisafulli Government is rebuilding Queensland’s international relationships which were left in tatters after Labor’s decade of decline.
Minister for Finance, Trade, Employment and Training Ros Bates said the result showed Queensland was open for business under the Crisafulli Government.
“This $5 billion milestone is the result of a lot of hard work, so to have it reached so quickly – and in the face of such a volatile period for international markets – is a fantastic outcome for Queensland,” Minister Bates said.
“The Crisafulli Government has been reassuring all of our trading partners that Queensland is a stable and welcoming place to do business after the chaos caused by the former Labor Government, and it’s clear they are listening.
“One of Trade and Investment Queensland’s focuses is getting small and family-owned businesses ready to reach their international goals and we’re seeing a growing number of success stories having a real impact on their communities.
“This is a result shared by all of Queensland – more than 40% of Queensland’s exporters are based in the regions, and when they’re given the support they need, we see those entire regions of the state benefit as a result.”
Trade and Investment Queensland Chair the Hon. Will Hodgman AC commended the agency’s efforts in driving economic growth and delivering significant outcomes for Queensland.
“This is a testament to the hard work and dedication in supporting Queensland businesses and attracting global investment,” Mr Hodgman said.
“By fostering strong international partnerships and championing local innovation, TIQ is helping to secure a prosperous future for all Queenslanders.”
