WELLINGTON, Oct 4 (Reuters) - New Zealand business confidence rose in the third quarter but inflationary pressures remain subdued, a private think tank said on Tuesday.
A net 26 percent of firms surveyed expected general business conditions to improve compared with 19 percent in the previous quarter, the New Zealand Institute of Economic Research's quarterly survey of business opinion (QSBO) showed.
The survey's measure of capacity utilisation was 92.5 percent, from the previous quarter's 92.9 percent.
