2008-09 Budget 78 The Territory Economy e: estimate; f: forecast Source: ABS Cat. No. 5206.0; Northern Territory Treasury Gross State Product Following an increase of 5.6 per cent in 2006-07, Territory gross state product (GSP) is estimated to increase by 2.8 per cent in 2007-08 (see Chart 7.2). The more modest growth rate compared to 2006-07 is due to lower net exports and lower investment associated with the completion of mega projects. The negative contribution of net exports to growth in 2007-08 reflects the impact of scheduled maintenance shut-downs at the Wickham Point LNG plant and associated gas fields, as well as the temporary closure of the Corallina oilfield and the permanent closure of the Elang Kakatua oilfield. In addition, total private investment expenditure is estimated to decline by 8.5 per cent in 2007-08, reflecting the completion of major works on the Alcan refinery expansion, and despite increases in machinery and equipment expenditure by many mine operators. e: estimate; f: forecast Source: ABS Cat.
