EUROPEAN MARKET RECOGNISES QUEENSLAND IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS: JANETZKI Source: arr.news, News Editor, First Published May 26th, 2025 The Crisafulli Government has restored Queensland’s position as a place to invest by being the first State to issue a euro-denominated benchmark bond. This month, the State’s central financing authority, Queensland Treasury Corporation (QTC) issued a new EUR 1.25 billion (~AUD 2.15 billion) benchmark bond, receiving significant demand with orders more than seven times the issuance amount. The landmark deal was a topic of discussion during a meeting with State and Territory Treasurers last Friday (23 May). Treasurer David Janetzki said with global uncertainty at an all-time high, the Crisafulli Government had re-established Queensland as a low-risk investment option. “The broad-based interest in the deal demonstrates the European market recognises we are open for business and it underscores the global appeal of the State’s financial stability and long-term growth prospects,” Mr Janetzki said.
