Latest fuel price surge dents business confidence - ANZ survey (opens the original)
Read excerpt
ANZ’s latest Business Outlook survey shows rising fuel prices have dented business confidence, which had been slowly recovering. However, so far the hit isn’t as bad as it was with the initial oil shock in April. Topline business confidence eased two points in September to +52. Firms’ expected own activity was steady at +48. Reported past activity fell five points to +11. ANZ senior economist Miles Workman noted that responses received later in the month after oil prices rose sharply again had l

The Herald breaks down a key election policy and asks what it will mean for New Zealand. Today, Liam Dann checks out National’s policy to break the supermarket duopoly. The National Party says it wants to force Foodstuffs to split into two genuinely separate nationwide grocery groups.

With Australian-owned Woolworths as the other major player, that would give New Zealand three nationwide compe
