ANZ Activity Outlook for September, 37.0%

From ANZ:

SUMMARY

  • Business confidence continues to retreat. Blame it on pre-election politics
  • Broader survey indicators in regard to activity, employment and investment remained robust; this tells us that firms are getting on with it
  • Forward gauges remain consistent with solid growth and low inflation; that’s a nice mix
