BNZ's Latest Survey – Pessimism Declining

The results of our latest survey of Weekly Overview readers.

On average people are still pessimistic but the level of pessimism has declined to be the best since February last year.

There are quite a few positive comments on the construction sector, non-residential property investment, greater optimism in fishing and forestry, and accountants and lawyers seemingly as busy as ever, and while comments about residential real estate are mixed there seem to be more positive ones than we have seen for quite some time.
