ANZ Bank said on Thursday it would release a preliminary read of its closely watched business outlook survey on March 10 given the rapidly evolving situation due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The final results of the ANZ business outlook are scheduled for release on March 31.
The preliminary data would include survey responses received via internet collection, the bank said in a statement.
New Zealand's businesses sentiment dropped in January as the coronavirus outbreak in China caused widespread alarm about the outlook for the economy.
