Economic Outlook
A region of two halves
• Our business volume is leveraged to primary and industrial activities
across manufacturing, building, infrastructure, transport, mining,
agriculture and food production
• Overall business confidence
- Australia: The indicators for business confidence & conditions are
both positive and have been trending up in the past three months
1
- New Zealand: The indicators for business confidence
2
have been
negative since mid-2021, but own activity outlook
2
remains
positive in the agriculture and manufacturing sector
• Interest rate levels
- The pace of increase will likely dampen the appetite
for new projects
• Inflationary pressure
- Will likely impact on the economics of new
business investments
- Will continue to impact on Vulcan’s own
operating cost base
