Migrants are set to drive economic growth in Sydney during 2023. Is now the time to invest and buy a business?

The pandemic is now firmly positioned in the rear view mirror of most Australians minds and plans as we enter 2023. Immigration was heavily affected with lockdowns and border restrictions, but thankfully recent data is showing us that migration is set to boom in the coming years, across the country and particuarly in Sydney. This influx of migrants making their way to Sydney will likely drive a significant economic boost to the local economy and now may be the time to buy a business in Sydney if you have been considering it for some time now.

Across the Sydney region, business confidence appears to be bouncing back. The City of Sydney's yearly business survey has shown that while some businesses did take a hit during the pandemic, many have been able to shift and pivot with the times and are seeing increased staffing and expect their financial position to be in a far better position in the next 12 months. One of the reasons for this positive shift is the return of students, tourists and migrants. 

 

In the next decade it is expected that Sydney will gain over 800,000 new citizens, reaching 6.1 million in 2023. Originally, overseas migration was expected to return to pre-pandemic levels of around 75,000 people per year by 2025-26, however these numbers have been blown out of the water with current migration levels being 25% higher than Treasury forecasts, due to a surge in arrivals, according to a former top immigration official.

 

Historically speaking, migration has always boosted the Australian economy. Migrants have provided a skilled workers boost, facilitated further learning and also strengthened our relationships with foreign countries. The Jobs and Skills Summit which was held in September of 2022 saw the government promise an increase in the permanent Migration Program ceiling to 195,000 in 2022-23 to help ease widespread, critical workforce shortages as well as extending visas and relaxing work restrictions on international students to strengthen the pipeline of skilled labour.

Sydney has always appealed to our international visitors due to the size of the population and the opportunities available to individuals with skills and trades.

Now may be the time to buy a hospitality business in Sydney. Here are 6 new restaurants and cafes listed for sale in Sydney on Bsale right now.
