The index for business confidence came in at 6, which was unchanged from the previous month following an upward revision from 5.
"Business conditions recorded a surprising jump to a more than two-and-a-half-year high in December - cementing the upward trend seen over recent months - supported by the low interest rate environment, higher asset prices and less elevated Australian dollar," NAB said in a statement.
