THE NSW government says a 13 per cent rise in business confidence since the last quarter means more job opportunities for people in NSW.
The latest Sensis Business Index shows NSW small to medium enterprises (SMEs) are feeling more bullish about 2013.
In the last quarter, NSW SMEs confidence for the year ahead improved by 13 per cent, with an overall net 33 per cent result for the last 12 months, which is above the national average.
Treasurer Mike Baird says it’s another positive result for NSW.
“Apart from Victoria, NSW businesses recorded the highest confidence of all the states. This result is particularly positive considering the tough economic environment businesses faced in 2012,” he said in a statement on Monday.
“This optimistic outlook is good news for the NSW economy and means more job opportunities for the people of this state.”
NSW Minister for Small Business Katrina Hodgkinson said NSW recorded the highest performance in sales and profitability of any state or territory in the last quarter and the highest proportion of exporting SMEs in Australia.
