A new Economic Statement released says South Australia is better placed than other States to emerge from the global downturn in a stronger economic position.

It says when recovery comes South Australia will likely out-perform the national economy, with strong growth in defence and mining, together with major opportunities in other sectors.

The Statement is the work of the Economic Development Board (EDB), which has been the Rann Government's key economic adviser since 2002, on the best ways to sustain growth in the State's economy.
