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
