The state borrows money to fund its longer-term commitments, including investment in major infrastructure projects. The state holds significant investments that it may use to meet its obligations and engages with the private sector to access investment and financing.

These reports will examine:

  • how the Queensland Government is managing its debt and investments 
  • insights into the state’s performance and sustainability
  • areas of investment 
  • use of private sector financing and investment.

In 2025, we will focus on:

  • progress of the transfer of Queensland Hydro and CopperString to QIC Limited, and provide details on how these initiatives are structured (or will be structured) post transfer
  • a progress update in relation to the PsiQuantum investment, particularly around the controls in place within government to monitor the investment and the expected benefits
  • an update on any major financing announcements or initiatives relating to the Brisbane Games
  • updates on previous significant investments announced by the government, such as Titles Queensland and Virgin. This will include their current structure, their performance, and whether the expected returns to the state from these investments have been achieved. 

We will examine major investment transactions, publicprivate financing and investment structures, and the performance of these investments. We will also report on our analysis of the government’s Report on State Finances in this report for the first time in 2025 (with this previously being included in our state entities report to parliament).
