Each public sector entity’s revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities collectively impact on the state’s finances. The consolidated position is reported each year through the Report on State Finances. To help manage their financial position and performance, public sector entities may use debt and investments. This ensures they can provide a wide range of services for Queenslanders, deliver new initiatives, and meet their liabilities. It also supports ongoing access to long-term investments to strengthen the state’s future. 

These reports will examine:

• insights into the state’s financial performance and position, including analysis of key revenue drivers, employee expenses, and other costs
• how the state is managing its debt and investments 
• major initiatives and how these are funded
• use of private sector financing and investment to deliver major initiatives.

In 2026, we will focus on:

• initiatives implemented to support industries facing economic challenges in Queensland 
• funding the pay down of debt using the Queensland Future Fund, and any restructure of state investments 
• updates of the activities and financing of major initiatives including PsiQuantum and the Queensland Energy Roadmap (including CopperString and Queensland Hydro). 

Other areas we may analyse further this year include:

• obligations from redress or compensation schemes, in particular how entities forecast future outlays and manage their investments to fund these obligations.
