The magazine for the new generation of West Australian business people

Presented by: The West Australian

West Business Insider

Like Western Australia itself, the WA business community is undergoing rapid change.

Never before has WA been home to so many well travelled, high earning, big spending professionals.

The focus of Australian business has shifted and the response to the first edition of West Business Insider is a sound endorsement that the market is ready for a premium WA based business publication.

With a quarterly circulation of over 135,000 copies in The West Australian, West Business Insider delivers a highly targeted audience of WA business professionals and a significant aspirational reader base.

All eyes are now on Western Australia - the engine room of Australia.

In his recent State of the States report, COMMSEC

chief economist Craig James described the

Australian economy as “Western Australia first…

daylight second.”

• Western Australia is Australia’s strongest economy, with the best performing retail and employment market in Australia.1

• In the 12 months to October 2012, WA accounted for 90% of new job creation in Australia. 2

• Western Australia’s GSP grew by a record 6.7% in 2011-12 outpacing the rest of Australia and is forecast to rise 4.8% in 2012-2013. 3

• Total investment in WA grew by almost $18 billion in the September quarter. • Total planned or existing investment stands at $281 billion.4

• And, WA business is still the most confident in the country! 5
