The business conditions index climbed to 37 in May, from 32 in the prior month. Meanwhile, the business confidence indicator came in at 20 in May, down from a record high of 23 in the previous month.<\/p>\n
The survey showed that the employment, profitability and trading sub-components all reset last month’s highs – with trading conditions at exceptional levels. Forward orders also remained at a record level.<\/p>\n
The survey measure of reported capex rose further, suggesting that the strong rise over 2021 is more than just a rebound from disruptions to activity and uncertainty during 2020.<\/p>\n
Overall, this was another very strong read for the business sector – and forward indicators point to ongoing strength in the near-term, NAB group chief economist, Alan Oster, said.<\/p>\n
This is a pleasing result coming after last week’s national accounts which showed that the economy has now surpassed its pre-Covid level. The economy now appears to be entering a new period of growth after a very rapid rebound, Oster added.<\/p>\n
