New Zealand's business landscape has shown a slight uptick, with the country's latest NBNZ own activity indicator ticking upwards to 44.6% in October 2025. This marks a marginal increase from the 43.4% recorded in September, as reported in the latest data update on October 30, 2025.
These figures, reflecting businesses' own activities across various sectors, suggest a modest improvement in the country's economic momentum. The rise, although slight, points towards increasing business confidence and activity among New Zealand enterprises as they navigate the current economic climate.
With the business activity indicator offering a pulse on the economic health of the nation, analysts and stakeholders will be closely monitoring subsequent data to ascertain if this upward trend continues in the upcoming months.
