Interview with Kieran Gilbert, Sky News
Kieran Gilbert:
Treasurer Jim Chalmers joins us off the back of the growth figures today, softer than many had expected. Are you worried we’re seeing a scenario, Treasurer, where capacity constraints are preventing the economy growing any stronger without driving up inflation?
Jim Chalmers:
National accounts September quarter 2025
Today’s National Accounts show an uptick in annual economic growth and a stronger and broader private sector recovery.
Growth in the private sector is picking up pace, powered by the strongest growth in private investment in almost five years.
The biggest story in the National Accounts is the very strong growth in business investment and investment in homes.
Treasurers agree reforms to increase competition and boost productivity
Today, I convened a meeting of state and territory Treasurers to advance key reforms to modernise Australia’s economy.
Whether it’s building more homes, streamlining approvals or cutting red tape to save tradies time and money, we’re working together to make our economy more productive and competitive.
