A Roy Morgan Business Single Source survey has found that Australian business confidence rose by 6.3 per cent to 112.4 in March 2015. Despite the improvement, business confidence remains below its level before the 2013 federal election and the average for the last four years of 117.6. The rise in business confidence occurred across all components of the index, but it stemmed mainly from an increase in the proportion of businesses that believe the next 12 months will be a good time to invest in growing their business
