Capital expenditure figures due out November 27, 2014 - 3:33AM New figures will show the extent of the pullback in mining investment and what spending plans businesses have in the future. The figures will be crucial, not only for next Wednesday's September quarter national accounts, but also for the year ahead. The capital expenditure figures on Thursday will also give Treasurer Joe Hockey food for thought as he puts together his mid-year budget review over the next couple of weeks. Construction figures released on Wednesday suggested that new home building may have already peaked, and combined with weak engineering numbers, point to a soft economic growth result for the September quarter. Modelling by the independent Parliamentary Budget Office released on Wednesday also suggests risks to the budget projections over the next 10 years are weighted to the downside, resulting in smaller than forecast surpluses and debt.
