Australia’s NAB Business Confidence Index edged up to 3 in December 2025 from an upwardly revised 2 in the previous month. Meanwhile, business conditions strengthened (9 vs 7 November), driven by gains in both sales (16 vs 13) and profits ( vs 4) while employment held steady (at 4). Price measures ticked higher in the three months to December, though capacity utilisation eased only slightly to a still elevated 83.2%. “The survey is consistent with the view that momentum improved in the Australian economy in the fourth quarter,” said NAB Chief Economist Sally Auld, noting that elevated utilisation was broad-based. Tuesday’s figure preceded December inflation data, after November eased to 3.4%, a three-month low but still above the central bank's 2–3% target. Meantime, the Reserve Bank is set to begin its first policy meeting of the year next week, having maintained the cash rate at 3.6% for the third month in a row in December. source: National Australia Bank
