ANZ Head of Australian Economics, David Plank, commented:
“The ANZ Roy-Morgan Consumer Confidence index rose 1.5% along with generous gains in four out of five of the sub-indices. The rise likely reflects the strong gains registered by ANZ Job Ads and the GDP numbers released last week. Job Ads grew 13.4% y/y in February and Australia saw two consecutive quarters of economic growth of more than 3% for the first time in history. The long weekend of Victoria may also have contributed, as confidence rose 2.1% in the state.”

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.
