Export Strategies

52 The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (1 August 2018). What is the minister's benchmark of success in export strategies? How will they be evaluated?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment):

The South Australian government's target is for sustained economic growth of 3 per cent per annum for our state over the next four years.

Significantly growing our exports is a key driver that will shape the state's future prosperity.

Working closely with the chief executives of the state government's economic development agencies, the Department for Trade, Tourism and Investment is undertaking a considered analysis of the performance and growth prospects of its portfolio areas, including exports.

The government's approach to trade will be evidence-based and ensure a sustainable, achievable outlook to drive export growth.
