There were mixed results around the States with Consumer Confidence up in the larger States of NSW, Victoria and Queensland but down slightly in Western Australia and South Australia.
The drivers of this week’s increase were improved buying intention in the post-Christmas sales period as well as less concern about the economy’s performance over the next year and next five years.
