Australian Chamber Westpac Survey of Industrial Trends | June 2016

The Australian Chamber-Westpac Survey of Industrial Trends, Australia’s longest running business survey, dating from 1966, provides a timely update on manufacturing and insights into economy-wide trends. The Westpac-AusChamber Actual Composite index moderated in the June quarter to 55.1, down 6.3pts. That is still a positive reading, coming on the back of a particularly strong 61.4 in March, to be more in line with the average for 2015 of 56.4.
