Goal Statistics: Multi-Factor Productivity
The Australian government aims for the economy to become more efficient every year. As such, it is important that the figure for multi-factor productivity is positive whenever possible.
The statistics below were collected from a combination of sources. The Productivity Commission publishes data for the current year in reports that are made available to the general public. The ABS publishes a productivity index, from which historical data can be calculated.
