Consumer confidence in New Zealand jumped in October, the latest survey from ANZ showed on Thursday.
The bank's consumer confidence index jumped 1.6 percent on month to a score of 122.9. That follows the 2.8 percent spike in September to 121.0.
The index score is the highest reading since the middle of last year, ANZ said, adding that the increase was driven by optimism over the direction of the economy.
