Māori business optimism higher than rest

Māori businesses are more optimistic and recording stronger profit growth than non-Māori firms. The ANZ Privately-Owned Business Barometer found 72 percent of Māori businesses surveyed were upbeat about the next three years, up from a reading of 70 percent last year, and ahead of 51 percent for non-Māori business.

Over the past 12 months, 54 percent of Māori businesses in the survey recorded an increase in profit. Businesses were starting to leverage their Māori heritage, with 51 percent of Māori business respondents seeing it as an advantage, whether it was a unique selling point or a culture focusing on long-term sustainability rather than short-term gains, the report said.
