Financial News: New Zealand Performance Of Services Index Sinks In

New Zealand Performance Of Services Index Sinks In November - BusinessNZ

12/14/2025 - 18:45:00 (RTTNews)

(RTTNews) - The services sector in New Zealand continued to contract in November, and at a faster rate, the latest survey from Business New Zealand revealed on Monday with a Performances of Services Index score of 46.9.

That's down from 48.4 in October, and it moves further beneath the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.

Among the individual components of the survey, sales (45.8), employment (46.4), new orders (49.3), stocks (46.5) and supplier deliveries (47.5) all were in contraction last month.

"Combined with the Performance of Manufacturing Index, the composite activity indicator poses downside risk to even modest growth expectations for early next year," BNZ Senior Economist Doug Steel said.
