What’s next for NZ’s economy? Join us for an exclusive webinar with Jarrod Kerr, Chief Economist at Kiwibank

We’re kicking off our 2026 events with a deep dive into NZ’s economic journey, and we’d love for you to join us!

After two challenging years, 2025 marked a turning point for the Kiwi economy: inflation eased, interest rates fell, and confidence began to recover. But as we look ahead, the big question is:

Will 2026 deliver sustained growth, or new headwinds for Kiwi businesses?

To help answer that, we’re delighted to welcome back Jarrod Kerr, Chief Economist at Kiwibank, for an exclusive economic update.

In this 60‑minute live session, Jarrod will unpack the key lessons from 2025, explore the global and local forces shaping 2026, and share his insights on what businesses need to watch, and where the opportunities lie:

Here are a few of the key takeaways our panel shared:

💡 2025 in review: What drove the recovery, and what lessons can we take forward?

💡The global forces shaping 2026.

💡GDP outlook: are we on track for steady growth?

💡Unemployment, wage growth, and talent competition in a shifting economy.

💡Where should Kiwi firms focus to thrive in 2026?

This is a must-attend discussion for business leaders and decision-makers seeking clarity on the forces shaping New Zealand’s economy, and how to position for success in the year ahead.
