A widely watched survey shows business conditions have slumped to near four-year lows, despite an improvement in confidence.

The National Australia Bank’s Monthly Business Survey shows conditions fell 4 points to -7 last month – that is the lowest level since May 2009, just after the initial wave of the financial crisis reached its zenith.

However, business confidence edged up 1 point to +2, possibly reflecting a flow-on effect from recent rises in consumer sentiment.

More to come.
