This paper sets out what economic resilience means and why it matters, the performance of the Queensland economy pre-COVID-19 and the initial effects of the COVID-19 response. It concludes by identifying some broad principles for building resilience and productivity and discusses the main (state level) areas of policy that can be harnessed to improve resilience.

This paper provides a first step at measuring and communicating progress in Queensland's discrete Indigenous communities. The framework in this paper is intended to illustrate an approach to measuring progress that can be further subdivided to provide a more detailed analysis of the key drivers of change.

As such, the public service plays a key role in influencing the behaviour of economic modellers and consequently the quality of information modellers provide to aid public discourse and decision-making.
