Updated Sunday, March 26, 2023
EVENT ENDED
The business confidence in New Zealand started turning negative at the end of 2017 and the trend deteriorated further last year when it declined to -50.3 points in August. The current global trade tariffs and other major events have deteriorated the global business sentiment, which has affected New Zealand. Although business confidence improved in the last several months of 2018, it still closed the year negative at -24.1 points as December's report showed. But, in February we saw another deterioration as this indicator fell to -30.9 points again. In March, the consumer confidence deteriorated further to -38.0 points and it remained at the same levels in April at -37.5 points. It improved a bit in May to -32 points but deteriorated further to -44.3 points in July and to -53.5 points. In October, business confidence improved to -42.4 points and in October it improved further to 26.4 points, while December came at -13.4 points. But, last month the confidence worsened again, falling to -19.4 points, but things go worse with coronavirus and in April this indicator came at -73.1 points, while it May it came at -41.8 points. In February the sentiment fell to -43.3 points. Please follow us for live coverage of this event by experienced market analysts.
