The BNZ-BusinessNZ Performance of Services Index rose 2.3 points in June from May to 58.6, well above its long term average.
Only once before has the three-month average been stronger than it was now, and that was in the June quarter of 2007.
A reading above 50 indicates the service sector is generally expanding.
BusinessNZ chief executive Kirk Hope said: While the key indicators show very healthy expansion, comments from respondents were very similar to its sister survey, the PMI, highlighting staff/skills shortages and general logistics issues .
BNZ senior economist Craig Ebert said the indicators were strong, but supplier deliveries had contracted, suggesting capacity constraints and serious inflation pressure.
