The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) will begin a new online survey in early May to gauge how supply‑chain disruptions caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz are affecting Australian businesses. The Survey of Business Conditions and Sentiments (SBCS) will ask respondents about changes to revenue, costs, workforce, investment and supply‑chain issues. The short questionnaire can be completed in 5–10 minutes. Results are expected to be published on the ABS website in late May, offering an up‑to‑date snapshot of business conditions. In addition, the ABS will launch a Monthly Household Spending Indicator, expand its DataLab offering, and carry out ad‑hoc detailed analyses of economic data as the situation develops.
