In 2005-06, the main industries that contributed to Queensland GSP growth were Property and business services (1.4 percentage points), Construction (0.7 percentage points) and Finance and insurance (0.5 percentage points). Only Agriculture, forestry and fishing and Mining (-0.1 percentage points) detracted from Queensland growth in 2005-06. Mining contribution to GSP(P) growth was flat in 2005-06 due to capacity constraints limiting growth and an increase in lead, silver and zinc production being offset by falls in copper and coal production.
