Mint Business Insights: November 2025 edition
Key insights from our latest report:
1. Businesses strongly expect 2026 to be a good year and are increasingly backing this view with rising intent to spend on staffing, advertising, and plant & equipment, including new technologies.
2. Concern about the low level of the Kiwi dollar is growing. At this stage, though, there is little evidence that input costs are rising again or that selling prices will need to increase more sharply in 2026.
3. Businesses are reporting the lowest levels of concern about the availability of finance, cash flows, and debt levels since this survey began two and a half years ago.
