ANZ Head of Australian Economics, David Plank, commented:
“Confidence continued to gain last week, though the pace of increase eased. The recent gains have resulted in the index recovering some 70% of the fall seen in the last two weeks of March. The gain likely reflects the continued good news on the path of the pandemic in Australia and the associated progressive easing of restrictions. The challenge for the coming week will be how households react to what is expected to be dire news on the state of the labour market..”

Margin of Error
The margin of error to be allowed for in any estimate depends mainly on the number of interviews on which it is based. Margin of error gives indications of the likely range within which estimates would be 95% likely to fall, expressed as the number of percentage points above or below the actual estimate. Allowance for design effects (such as stratification and weighting) should be made as appropriate.
