NSW RECOVERY MAY UNDERPIN THE TRANSITION FROM MINING BOOM
In recent months, the New South Wales economy has shown signs of genuinerecovery and is now outperforming the rest of Australia. This comes after a
decade when the NSW economy underperformed with its share of national output
slipping by around 4 percentage points to 31% in 2012. This note examines whether
the early signs of an upturn in NSW, Australias most populous state, are likely to
continue.
Examining NSWs economic outlook not only assists our understanding of around onethird of Australias economy but also provides some insight into how smoothly
Australia might transition from the mining investment boom to a more broad based
growth story.
There remains much uncertainty around the outlook for the Australian economy at themoment. However, we conclude that there are a number of reasons why NSW
may grow at an above average rate and play a central role in leading the
national economy in the transition to stronger non-mining growth over the
next few years.
The improved NSW outlook contrasts with the more negative outlook in the miningstates and in Victoria, where an overhang of housing construction is likely to weigh on
growth. It also contrasts with NSWs own recent history. During the early 2000s IT
bust and global financial crisis, the NSW economy slowed more sharply than the rest
of Australia and employment growth was weaker.
We also examine the relationship between the US business cycle and the NSWeconomy concluding that a strong relationship still exists due to linkages related to
financial markets, financial services and the headquartering of multinational firms in
Sydney. Our analysis suggests that although China is increasing its influence on the
national economy, the US economy remains a major driver of the NSW cycle.

Australian Economic Update / 7 August 2013 / 2 of 16
A DECADE OF UNDERPERFORMANCE COMES TO AN END
From 2000 until 2012, the NSW economy grew more slowly than the rest ofAustralia, at an average annual rate of 2.1% compared to 3.5%. Figure 2 below
shows NSW economic growth, proxied by state final demand plus net exports, was
weaker on average than the rest of Australia through most of this period. The NSW
economy and employment growth were more heavily impacted by the bursting of the
tech bubble in 2000-01 and the global financial crisis around 2007-09. These
downturns were relatively more severe than the rest of Australias. This is likely due
to the over-representation of the financial and insurance services industries and IT,
media and telecommunications industries in NSW.

Another reason for underperformance in NSW was the slowdown in dwelling
investment which slipped as a share of domestic demand in NSW much more than in
other states and territories from around 2005 (Figure 3). This followed a period of
strong activity in the late 1990s, where NSW and in particular Sydney, led the
national housing boom of 1998-2003.

NSW business investment, while continuing to grow, slipped relative to the rest of
Australia as a share of state final demand (Figure 4). NSW has not participated in
the mining investment boom to the same degree as Western Australia, Queensland
and the Northern Territory although coal mining is still an important contributor to
the state economy.

But recently there has been a turnaround. Over the past year, the NSW
economy appears to have grown at a faster pace than the rest of Australia. Activityin NSW (as measured by state final demand plus net exports) is above its trend rate,
while the rest of Australia has slowed to below its trend rate as shown in Figure 2. A
similar pattern is seen in employment growth, with NSW growing faster than its

trend rate while the rest of Australias employment growth has slowed. As Figure 5
highlights, the net 83,500 jobs created in NSW (in trend terms over the year to
June) was greater than the net job gains to the rest of the country.

This has not been reflected in the NSW unemployment rate, which rose to 5.4% in
June, from a low of 4.7% last year. But higher unemployment is mostly due to a
rising participation rate as shown in Figure 6. The improvement has been unique to
NSW and suggests that a brightening economic outlook is encouraging workers to
seek jobs. Similarly, the employment to population ratio, which fell throughout the
country in the aftermath of the GFC has started to recover in NSW only.

Another positive labour market development particular to NSW in recent months
has been a fall in workers who were working less than 35 hours a week for
economic reasons (ie. because they have been stood down or are on short time due
to insufficient work). In all other states, there has been a rise in the numbers of
workers in this category.

The early signs of recovery in the NSW state economy are encouraging, particularlyrecent labour market developments. Indeed, we expect the outperformance of the
NSW economy to continue for several reasons. As shown below in Figure 8, ANZs
forecasts highlight that we expect the NSW economy is the most likely to pick-up
and perform above its decade average, even though growth is likely to remain below
the actual rates of the mining states (which should benefit from strong resource
export volumes in the coming few years).

6/16
Australian Economic Update / 7 August 2013 / 6 of 16
The main reasons for our optimism about NSW are:
NSW demonstrates closer correlation with the US economy than the rest ofAustralia and the US economy is recovering. This is in contrast with our other
major growth driver, China which is slowing, albeit from higher growth rates.
We see a more positive outlook for the financial and insurance services industryin Australia compared to recent years, which we believe is in part a direct
consequence of the recovery in US economy and stronger demand for housing
and related finance. Nearly 45% of Australias financial and insurances industry is
based in NSW.
The benefits of a lower interest rate environment are filtering through the NSWeconomy, particularly to housing construction which is also gaining momentum
from pent-up demand following several years of underinvestment.
The NSW Governments recent windfall gains from leasing the ports of Botanyand Kembla plus its plans to privatise or lease a number of other significant
assets and sound budget management have facilitated a number of large-scale
transport infrastructure projects. More are likely. Partly offsetting these will be
lower capital spending by the recently heavily-capitalised electricity sector.
Falling commodity (especially coal) prices are likely to deter new major projectdevelopments, but with only 3% of its economy dependent on mining, NSW will
not feel the effects as much as WA and Qld.
We explore each of these drivers below and point out where there are also
downside risks.
NSW CORRELATION WITH THE UNITED STATES ECONOMY
Over the past three decades Australian GDP has shown a strong correlation with the
US economy. In recent years however, this appears to have lessened while Australias
correlation with China has increased. The impact of the GFC on the US economy and
the China led mining boom are the main reasons for this.
Our analysis suggests that the NSW economy has maintained a strong correlation
with the US economy through this past decade despite the rising correlation with the
Chinese economy at the national level. As shown in Figure 9 the long-term correlation
(10yr rolling) between the Australian economy (ex. NSW) and the US has gradually
declined from around 0.35 in the late 1990s to 0.15 in the past five years. For NSW
the correlation is now higher than in the late 1990s at over 0.40.

There is certainly evidence to suggest the NSW correlation with the US (GDP), is
stronger than the rest of Australias correlation with the US economic cycle.

Our forecasts indicate that the US economy is on the verge of a sustained expansion
following a weak and patchy five years. While our point forecasts have growth of
around 3% for the US economy in 2014 and 2015, our analysis of the risks suggests
these are firmly to the upside. Given this historical correlation, our outlook for the US
is supportive of continued expansion for the NSW economy.
One reason this may be the case is because of NSWs exposure to the financial andinsurance industries (see section below). There are also a large proportion of
multinational companies headquartered in NSW, which may mean US economic
conditions and confidence have a relatively large impact in NSW.

Despite the rise of China and the importance of Chinese economic activity to
Australia, the US economy is still an influential force. Much of the economic impact
operates through the NSW economy via financial and confidence linkages. In our
view, this boost to NSW from a stronger US economy will create positive spillovers to
the surrounding state economies of Queensland and Victoria over time. Indeed, a
potentially important factor in Queenslands difficult recent history has been the soft
NSW economy.
FINANCE AND INSURANCE SERVICES POTENTIAL
Around 45% of Australias financial and insurance services are based in NSW
including key financial markets and major international banks. The industry has
grown rapidly over the last 30 years and now contributes around 14% of NSW gross
value added, which is more than any other single industry.

Financial and insurances services were significantly impacted by the GFC.
Employment in this industry has only just recovered to be around the level recorded
in early 2007. While Australias financial institutions have weathered the GFC in a
relatively strong position, many international banks have been shrinking, including in
Australia.
There is further room for upside in this industry following the recovery in the US
economy and especially its financial services industry, lead by the improvement in
financial market activity which is likely to filter through to confidence more generally.
An improvement in the housing cycle, which we discuss more fully below, will also lift
demand for finance and insurance services (due to increased demand for housing and
related finance).
A downside risk however comes from the business sector with business confidence
and investment subdued at present. This is not suggestive of a pick up in demand for
credit from the business sector. A stronger US economy and rising financial asset
-

prices suggest that we may be at a low point for confidence. There may be some
improvement in these indicators after the election once there is certainty about the
countrys political future, particularly if a majority government is established.
HOUSING CONSTRUCTION UPSWING
Past interest rate cuts by the RBA and pent-up demand for housing as well as policy
measures from the State Government are gaining traction in the NSW residential
housing market. Dwelling investment and building approvals have been picking up
and house prices in Sydney have risen beyond their 2010 peak (the only other capital
city where house prices have risen to new records is Darwin). NSW housing turnover
has also increased with auction clearance rates rising significantly. High housing
prices could help to stimulate further activity, especially in the investor sector as
property returns become more attractive.
Figure 12 below comparing population growth and housing starts shows the extent of
under building in NSW in recent years, which has lead to significant undersupply of
housing stock.

The NSW Government has specifically sought to address the undersupply of housingby doubling the first home owners grant to AUD15,000 but restricting it, and stamp
duty concessions, to new housing with a value of less than AUD650,000. (The 2013-
14 Budget said the number of first home owner grants was more than 60% higher
than a year ago suggesting that these policies have been initially successful in
attracting this segment back to the market). It has also used the proceeds of
Government building sales to fund infrastructure around new housing lots and
increased its planning budget to focus on facilitating housing in suitable locations.
We expect there is further growth in housing construction ahead given pent-up
demand and improving affordability. Indeed, there is still a significant gap between
the movement in the cash rate and dwelling approvals as below in Figure 13.
Moreover, given general softness in the economy and an absence of inflationary
pressure, we think the Reserve Bank is likely to keep interest rates at multi-
generational lows for the foreseeable future.

PUBLIC SECTOR INVESTMENT
The 2013-14 NSW budget dedicated most of the AUD4.3bn proceeds attained from
the long-term leases of Port Botany and Port Kembla to transport infrastructure. The
projects currently planned include the North West Metro-Rail Link and WestConnex
Road Project. Partly offsetting this will be lower investment by the recently highly
capitalised electricity sector.

But we are likely to see more public sector investment slated for coming years.
Treasurer Baird has announced the sale of the State's largest power producer,
Macquarie Generation, which could raise AUD1.6-AUD2bn. This is in addition to other
electricity generation businesses and the lease of the Port of Newcastle. The proceeds
from these will be at least partly be spent on state infrastructure (although in practice

they pay off debt first), continuing the Governments policy to utilise its assets for the
productive good of the economy.
If the NSW Government is successful in attaining a mandate to sell NSWs electricity
transmission businesses following the 2015 election, as it plans to do, the likely funds
would be substantial (reports suggest around AUD30bn) and further infrastructure
plans would likely follow. The outlook for NSW public sector investment is much more
positive than in other states, where constrained fiscal conditions and less ambitious
asset sales plans exist.
As was demonstrated in the Victorian state economy over the past two decades a
period of well targeted and sustained urban infrastructure spending can be a major
positive force for investment more generally in the local economy. The opening up of
new transport corridors and the upgraqding of existing infrastructure can led to new
residential, commercial and retail investment in those locations. A meaningful pick-up
in construction activity will create jobs and boost confidence across households and
businesses.
LIMITED EXPOSURE TO MINING
NSW mining is dominated by the coal sector, and coal prices have fallen sharply since
late 2011 (in line with most other Australian commodity prices), deterring new
developments beyond current commitments. But with only around 3% of its economy
dependent on mining, we expect NSW will be much less negatively affected by falling
commodity prices than WA, NT and Queensland. Similarly, the labour market
consequences will not be as harsh with absolute levels of mining employment in NSW
below those in WA and Queensland.

WHERE DO WE SEE REASONS FOR CAUTION?
There has been a sharp fall in the AUD which we expect to drift lower over the next
year. The recent depreciation can be explained by a few factors but largely reflects alagged response to lower prices for Australias exports, an actual/expected slowing in
domestic growth and concerns about slower growth in China. In our view, the AUD
should fall to a cyclical low point in 2015 of around USD0.84. The lower AUD means
-
8/22/2019 ANZ NSW Overview
12/16
Australian Economic Update / 7 August 2013 / 12 of 16
financial conditions are easier and should start to assist the rebalancing of growth by
assisting the export and import competing industries that have recently suffered.
These include manufacturing, tourism and international education; all industries of
some importance to NSW. But they have become a smaller share of the NSW
economy over the last 10 years. Any decline in the AUD will have a less positive
impact than in the past. Relative to Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania which are
more heavily reliant on these industries, AUD depreciation will have a less stimulatory
effect to NSW industry1. (On the other hand if the AUD appreciates again the
economy is more insulated from the impact than in the past or relative to others
states.)

We do not see an immediately bright future for private business investment spending,
which has been particularly weak in recent years. Critical to a sustained expansion in
the NSW economy will be a turn around in non-mining investment. There is scantevidence of this yet, although as discussed throughout this paper many of the building
blocks of a recovery in business confidence and investment are being put in place.
1 We recognise this is a broad simplification of the impact of the AUD on the
NSW economy.

Consumption growth has been soft and retail sales growth has been growing at a
below trend rate since 2011. This is likely due to weakness in employee
compensation, which has shown no signs of rising in line with better labour demand
in the state. This may be short lived however if improvements to labour demand
translate to wages.
