The Northern Territory government is looking to boost population growth to provide a $10 billion lift to the local economy and create 21,000 jobs over the next 10 years.

Chief Minister Michael Gunner on Wednesday launched the Territory's first population strategy which will seek to attract an additional 2600 people to the region each year.

"More people making the Territory their home is the key to our bright future and creating the best opportunities for future generations," Mr Gunner said.
