New analysis reveals an ongoing cap to skilled migration could be stifling the Australian economy. Chief KMPG Economist Dr Brendan Rynne has found raising the net migration levels to 350,000 a year could boost the economy by $120 billion and raise GDP by 4.4 per cent by 2030. Dr Rynne says the nation needs to take a more aggressive approach to attracting migrants. However, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg says the government has no intention of ramping up overseas migration.
