Current investment profile
Foreign investment has been a key element of Queensland's
success story, contributing to the successive waves of
growth the state has enjoyed in gold, wool, food and
agribusiness, and mining.
FDI into Australia over the 10 years to 2015 has grown in
value by 118 per cent.9 Australia's major foreign direct
investment source markets are the USA, EU, Japan and UK,
while China has been a major growth market in recent
years (see Figure 2). FDI in mining has dominated activity
in recent years (see Figure 3).

Future outlook
With the completion of the LNG construction phase and
subdued market conditions, the Queensland economy
faces new challenges. These include a weaker outlook
for many of Queensland's major trading partners and
business investment returning to a more conventional
growth path.
However, through its ongoing focus on infrastructure,
investment and innovation, the Queensland Government
will build upon Queensland's economic strengths and
productive advantages, while ensuring existing and
emerging industries can capitalise on opportunities as
they occur.
Trade and investment will remain significant sources of
economic growth for Queensland. In particular, growth
in the Asia-Pacific region is likely to drive demand for
a range of goods and services, including mineral and
energy resources, tourism, education and food and
agribusiness.
Queensland's skilled workforce, strong economic and
social infrastructure, and stable regulatory framework
are all conducive to business investment. As capital
becomes more mobile with advances in technology
and global value chains, Queensland will become an
increasingly attractive location to do business.
