Economics – KOF Business Tendency Surveys: dampener at the start of 2025

LiveNews Publisher

February 5, 2025

Source: KOF Economic Institute

The KOF Business Situation Indicator for the Swiss private sector, which is calculated on the basis of the KOF Business Tendency Surveys, fell in January. It had previously risen in October and November last year and remained virtually unchanged in December. Business expectations for the next six months were once again slightly more cautious in January than they had been in December.

Trends vary from sector to sector. The outlook for manufacturing appears fairly bleak. The Business Situation Indicator here has fallen for the second month in a row, and companies are very uncertain about the future. They are planning to expand their production much more cautiously than before and are increasingly looking to cut jobs.

Private consumption supporting the economy

In the areas associated with building activity – project engineering and construction – the Business Situation Indicator fell for the second month in a row. The indicator also fell in the financial and insurance sectors and in other services. By contrast, firms in the retail, wholesale and hospitality sectors reported an improvement in their business. Private consumption is therefore continuing to support the economy.

Many firms’ expectations more cautious than before

In addition to their current business situation, the prospects for project engineering firms, the construction industry, financial and insurance service providers as well as other services have also deteriorated. The outlook is also less optimistic than before in the hospitality industry, which reported a more encouraging business situation in January. Forecasts in manufacturing have changed only slightly compared with the previous month. Wholesalers are increasingly anticipating a sustained upturn.

Labour shortages easing in some sectors; wage forecasts virtually unchanged

Complaints about a shortage of suitable workers in other services are once again declining significantly. This problem is also becoming less acute in the wholesale and manufacturing sectors. In contrast, there are growing challenges facing construction and project engineering.

Firms’ forecasts of wage levels over the next twelve months have remained virtually unchanged since last autumn. Gross salaries are expected to rise by 1.5 per cent. Firms reckon that pay growth is likely to be below average in the retail sector and above average in the hospitality industry.

The results of the KOF Business Tendency Surveys from January 2025 include responses from around 4,500 firms from manufacturing, construction and the major service sectors. This equates to a response rate of around 60 per cent.

Gaza – PSNA says government must oppose Trump ethnic cleansing of Gaza

The Palestinian Solidarity Network Aotearoa says Palestinians in Gaza should be allowed to return to their original homes in Israel – instead of being permanently forced out of Gaza to Jordan and Egypt under US President Trump’s expulsion plan.

PSNA Chair John Minto says the Trump plan, which has just been agreed with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in Washington, is rewarding Israel for its genocidal destruction of Gaza.

“The whole Israel plan was to make Gaza unleavable by bombing it to smithereens over the past year. Israel has failed to drive the Palestinians out, and so now Israel has passed the depopulation job for two million people, onto the United States.”

“But 80 percent of them are already refugees from Israeli ethnic cleansing in 1948. Under International Law they are entitled to head the other way – back to their real homes in Jerusalem, Haifa, Ashkelon and other towns and cities in what is now Israel.”

“Every year the General Assembly of the United Nations votes to demand Israel allow the families of the Palestinians forced out of Palestine in 1948 to return to their homes and be paid compensation.”

“New Zealand votes for this resolution. Our nation’s official policy for years has been to affirm the right of Palestinians to return to their original homes in Palestine.”

Minto says this view is a long-standing world consensus.

“I’ve just seen a statement by former Saudi Arabian diplomat Prince Turki al Faisal. He is saying exactly the same thing. Most Palestinians are only in Gaza because of western complicity in allowing Israel to drive them there. They must be allowed to go back.”

“Our Foreign Minister should immediately stand by government policy and clearly and publicly tell Donald Trump that his Palestinian expulsion plan is not a humanitarian gesture, but a cynical war crime designed to do more dirty work for Israel and more than likely set up a resort development opportunity for his son-in-law Jared Kushner.”

Mining Issues – Greenpeace welcomes Northland mining pullout

LiveNews Publisher

February 5, 2025

Greenpeace is welcoming the decision by an Australian mining giant to pull the plug on its plans to mine for minerals in a forest reserve in the Far North.

Seabed mining campaigner Juressa Lee says: “The victory over mining company Mineralogy International demonstrates the collective power of resistance in iwi, local communities and environmental groups working together.

Lee says the victory sends a powerful message to other would-be miners, such as Australian-owned mining company Trans-Tasman Resources, which wants to start seabed mining in the South Taranaki Bight.

“Trans-Tasman Resources has faced years of determined opposition from Greenpeace, local iwi and hapū, scientists, boaties and the fishing industry over its plans to plunder the seas off the Taranaki coast.

“TTR has been defeated in the courts again and again but is now betting the Luxon government’s Fast Track process will enable it to circumvent any proper transparent scrutiny of its plans.

“But Greenpeace and our allies will continue to resist this every step of the way. We won’t let seabed mining take place in Aotearoa without a fight.”

Pump station now installed in Judges Bay wastewater upgrade

LiveNews Publisher

February 5, 2025

Source: Auckland Council

With the new underground wastewater pump station now in place, Watercare is making significant progress towards lifting the long term Safeswim black pin status at Judges Bay.

The installation of the pump station is a key achievement in Watercare’s $13.2 million Judges Bay wastewater upgrade, which also includes the installation of two wastewater pipelines: a rising main on Judges Bay Road and a gravity main on Cleveland Road.

Together, these infrastructure upgrades will increase the capacity in the local wastewater network and reduce the frequency of wet weather overflows at Judges Bay.

The upgrade is Watercare’s permanent solution to a broken wastewater pipeline underneath the Parnell Rose Gardens – believed to have been caused by extreme flooding during the 2023 summer storms.

Watercare project manager Frank Lin says the submersible pump station, which weighs 8.5 tonnes and is 8.4 metres tall and 3.5m wide, was delivered and installed on the same day.

“The submersible pump station was delivered to the site on a flatbed truck at 6:30am and was installed by around 1pm.

“It was lifted off the truck by crane and suspended in mid-air.

“The crew then manoeuvred the pump station by 90 degrees so it could be lowered into the 8.5 metre deep shaft.

“The crew did an excellent job of following the lifting plan and installing the pump station in a narrow and challenging site.

“Once the pump station had been lowered, secured in the shaft, and the support suspensions removed, the crew began backfilling the shaft and connecting the pipework and services, including power and water.

“The crew filled the pump station with water to prevent stress and compaction while the shaft was infilled with concrete to keep the pump station in place.”

Lin says the St Judges Bay wastewater upgrades are on track to be completed by July this year.

“Our crews and contractors are making great progress with the upgrades, with stage two of the upgrade – the installation of the new rising main on Judges Bay Rd – now complete.

“Work is progressing well on stage three of the project with the installation of the gravity main now underway on Cleveland Road, which will connect with the rising main at the corner of Judges Bay Road.

“To install the gravity main, we’ll be using horizontal directional drilling, which will allow us to install the pipeline at a shallow depth underneath the road with minimal surface excavation. This keeps costs down, minimises disruption and gets the job done faster.”

The Wastewater Pump Station was lifted in by crane and installed on the same day.

Waitematā Local Board chairperson Genevieve Sage is impressed with the progress Watercare is making with the wastewater upgrades for Judges Bay.

“The bespoke solution caters to the community’s current and future needs.

“Once in service, the infrastructure will provide a permanent replacement to the damaged pipe caused by the 2023 summer storm events. The wastewater upgrade will help to increase resilience of our wastewater network as well as further protect our local waterways.

“This will enable Watercare to lift the long term Safeswim black pin status at Judges Bay.”

Ōrākei Ward councillor and Deputy Mayor of Auckland Desley Simpson thanks Watercare for their diligent work and the community for their patience as we progress towards completing these projects.

“Our community is highly engaged and passionate about the efforts Watercare is making to improve below the ground water infrastructure in Parnell.

“We are eagerly anticipating the lifting of the Safeswim black pin status, allowing current and future generations to take a dip at Judges Bay.”
