2021-22 Half-Yearly Review

As we reach the end of 2021, our State’s economy is looking stronger. Its strength is a reflection of our people, our workers and our businesses who sacrificed so much this year.

Moving beyond COVID-19, we need to continue to focus on protecting and building our human, natural and physical capital to ensure our economy is as resilient, prosperous and productive as any in the world.

With the recovery from the Delta outbreak underway, there are early signs of a strong rebound and the State is on track for return to surplus in 2024-25.

Now is the time for the NSW Government to focus on boosting economic prosperity.

This Half-Yearly Review sets the path for the State not to just bounce back, but bounce back stronger.
