A VISITING Chief Economist has some good news and some bad news to share regarding the economic future for Central Queensland.
Chief Economist and Director of Strategy Morgans Financial Michael Knox flew into Rockhampton on Tuesday at the invitation of accountancy firm Evans Edwards and associates.
He provided information to almost 40 of their clients and associates gathered at Headricks Lane on national and international economics and how they would apply to our region.
Mr Knox said due to international trading trends we had plenty of reasons to be optimistic in CQ but it wasn’t going to be all smooth sailing.
“What’s happened is there’s been a long decline in the terms of trade with the Australian export prices have peaking back in 2011,” Mr Knox said.
