New figures showing a strong contribution to economic growth from exports reflects the benefit of Australia's big trade deals, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says.

Exports will have contributed 1.1 percentage points to growth when the March-quarter national accounts are released on Wednesday, keeping annual growth close to the three per cent rate recorded at the end of December.

"Our national economic plan is already working and what we're asking the Australian people for on July 2 is the mandate to complete that economic plan, to stick with our plan and deliver on the strong economic growth," Mr Turnbull told reporters in Sydney on Tuesday.
