Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: The latest Xero Small Business Index has shown that businesses continue to be resilient. Sales grew 3.3 percent year on year, while jobs also grew 4.4 percent. Wage growth was 6.8 percent. Overall, the index jumped to 146, the highest level since the series began in 2017. Xero said that while the sector appears in reasonable shape, small businesses are operating in a challenging global environment. This is why the Government continues to support small businesses, including through the Small Business Cashflow (Loan) Scheme; the provision of support for digital initiatives and mental health programmes; and the immigration reset, which allows accredited employers easier access to the staff that they need.
