The confidence indicator surged to 60.9, a notable increase from the previous reading of 50.6 recorded in August 2024. This impressive rise suggests a growing optimism among New Zealand businesses about the economic outlook.
The data, updated on September 30, 2024, reflects a positive shift in sentiment as businesses foresee better economic conditions and stronger market dynamics.
