Business Outlook March 2026 shows weakening activity and falling confidence
ANZ Business Outlook survey indicates declining business activity and confidence in New Zealand, particularly in retail and construction.
The ANZ Business Outlook for March 2026 reports that the net balance of firms reporting stronger activity than a year ago has weakened, with a notable drop in retail and construction. Business confidence has declined from the previous month, and late‑month responses average near zero, suggesting a further slowdown ahead. While some sectors such as manufacturing remain relatively positive, the overall trend points to softer economic momentum and weaker profitability.
