“Overall, the survey points to an improvement in activity

\nmaterially influenced local hiring and investment decisions””Generally, the services sectors, both consumer facing and
\nfor businesses, are stronger while retail and wholesale remain
\nweaker.”
\n “The survey is consistent with improving economic growth,
\nalthough still highlights the challenges around cost pressures
\nfaced by many businesses”<\/p>\n
Price indicators in the survey pointed to pockets of ongoing
\ninflationary pressures. Notably, quarterly growth in retail
\nprices accelerated to 1.1% in July, from 0.5% in June, while
\nproducer prices rose at a 0.9% pace.
\n “The survey is consistent with improving economic growth,
\nalthough still highlights the challenges around cost pressures
\nfaced by many businesses,” said Auld.<\/p>\n
