Growth Expected In Non-Resource Sector

Treasurer Ian Ling-Stuckey in his budget speech said the growth in the non-resource sector is expected to increase in real terms by 3.5 per cent in 2022.

This is attributed to growth in the AFF sector supported by the strong growth in the BLS sector as the resumption of both the Porgera and Simberi gold mines is anticipated to have spill-over benefits to most of the BLS sectors.
