The NAB Quarterly Business Confidence Index is calculated based on a business survey of Australian companies conducted by the National Australia Bank. The report reflects business expectations for 17 different factors, including tax regulation, housing prices, interest rates, wages, geopolitical risks, federal and regional policies, and other factors. A reading above zero indicates improving business conditions and can affect AUD quotes positively. A negative value indicates worsening conditions.
