ABOUT THE SURVEY Notes: Throughout this survey, index values are in trend terms including five year averages. An index level of indicates that there is an exact balance between those who resonded that the variable is growing and those who relied that the variable had declined. Thus, any level below can generally be interreted as meaning that the variable is falling, and conversely, a reading above indicates the variable is increasing. In this survey, resonses are segmented by size of business, with small firms categorised as having fewer than 20 emloyees, medium having 20 to 99 emloyees and large as having 100 or more emloyees. Technical Note Each survey reading is calculated by taking a weighted sum of the roortion of resonses in each answer grouing to form an index between 100 and 1 (note that answers are groued according to the strength of conditions). The strongest answer grouing is given a weighting of one and the weakest is given a weighting of zero, with those between receiving a roortional weighting. As a result, if all resondents lace their answer in the strongest grouing, the index would be 100. Conversely, if they all oted for the weakest grouing, the index would be 0. If n is the number of resonse categories, ro is the roortion of resonses in a given category (out of 100 and i is the resonse category (ordered from 1 = strongest to n = weakest), then the formula for the index is as follows: Index = n i=1 ( ) n i ro i. n 1 2

11 ACCI Survey I August 2011 CONSTRAINTS ON INVESTMENT The ACCI Survey of Investor Confidence asks businesses the degree to which twenty factors constrain business investment in lant and equiment. The ACCI Survey breaks these figures down into small vs medium vs large business categories.

The average level of imediments is the average of all 20 imediments to investment and reflects whether taken as a whole there is a greater or lesser degree of constraint on investment. The higher the average level of imediments the greater the constraint. To Five Constraints on Investment (Figures in brackets show rankings during the March quarter of 2011.) 1. Business Taxes and Government Charges (1) 2. Level of Interest Rates (7) 3. Insufficient Demand (5) 4. Current levels of debt (12) 5. Non-Wage Labour Costs (10) 1. Business Taxes and Government Charges (1) 2. Wage Costs (3) 3. Non-Wage Labour Costs (4) 4. Insufficient Retained Earnings (5) 5. Availability of Suitably Qualified Emloyees (6) 1. Non-Wage Labour Costs (6) 2. Wage Costs (3) 3. Availability of Suitably Qualified Emloyees (1) 4. Business Taxes and Government Charges (8) 5. Charges by Lending Institutions (16) Business Taxes and Government Charges remained the largest imediment to small and medium business investment over the June quarter, and increased from the eighth to the fourth largest barrier for large businesses. The weak rofitability erformance couled with the rosect of rising interest rates has caused Level of Interest Rates and Current Levels of Debt to jum from the seventh to the second osition and from the twelfth to the fourth osition resectively for small businesses over the quarter. Insufficient demand increased from the fifth to the third largest constraint on small business investment following the continued weakness in consumer sending and market demand.
