Continuously improving economic market conditions are raising hopes of investors and business world, according to the monthly survey by ANZ-Roy Morgan.

However, there is a lot worth doing on employment front as the segment is still under pressure due to less than adequate demand in the market.

ANZ-Roy Morgan survey has reported consumer's confidence at 125.9 points, reflecting improving market conditions in the coming year. But there is still a majority of pessimists as compared to optimists in the market. ANZ said, "Improving steps are to be acknowledged, but there is still a way to go."

A net 17 per cent of those surveyed said that the conditions are though better than last year but things would take time to turn better. The survey pointed out 10-points rise in buyers of household things, indicating rise is customer spending which is necessary for healthy growth.

Unemployment rate is expected to reach 6.5 per cent according to forecasts of Westpac Bank. The bank do not expect decline in unemployment in next year as well and hopes it to stay at the same level. Bank's chief economist, Brendan O'Donovan, said, "The damage from recessions becomes most apparent after they have ended."
