A ‘medium term’ (5 year) outlook for Australia’s major resource and energy commodity exports is published in the March quarter edition of the Resources and energy quarterly. The June, September and December editions contain a ‘short term’ (2 year) outlook.
Underpinning the forecasts contained in Resources and energy quarterly is the Office of the Chief Economist’s outlook for global commodity prices, demand and supply. The forecasts for Australia’s commodity exporters are reconciled with this global context.
The global environment in which Australia’s producers compete can change rapidly. Each edition of Resources and energy quarterly factors in these changes, and makes appropriate alterations to the outlook, estimating the impact on Australian producers and the value of their exports.
Update
As at 16 November 2021, revisions have been made to Australia historical production figures for silver and iron ore in the 'REQ September 2021 Historical Data' spreadsheet and iron ore production in 'REQ September 2021 Forecast Data' spreadsheet.
The full report also reflects revisions to the Major markets for Australia’s resources and energy exports in 2020-21 infographic on page 6, and Australian iron ore production volumes in Table 4.2 (page 45). These revisions do not affect any other figures in the rest of the spreadsheet or report.
