WELLINGTON (Reuters) - New Zealand business sentiment lifted six points in May, an ANZ Bank survey showed on Wednesday.
The survey's headline measure showed a net 32.0 percent of respondents expected the economy to deteriorate over the year ahead. That compared with a 37.5 percent pessimism level in the previous poll in April.
A net 8.5 percent of respondents expected their own businesses to grow in the next 12 months, from 7.1 percent last month.
