Focus on Business with Brad Olsen

Join us and Hastings City Business Association at Focus on Business to hear from Infometrics Chief Executive and Principal Economist Brad Olsen.

Seen as one of New Zealand’s most prominent economic commentators; Brad will provide insights into the latest economic trends both locally in Hastings and across the wider Hawke’s Bay region including the aftermath of the cyclone one year on.

Alongside a local view, Brad will delve into broader economic trends shaping New Zealand’s economy, including interest rate forecasts for 2024 and 2025, the effects of record-high migration and population growth, and global trends influencing the national economic landscape.

Join Brad as he discusses what lies ahead for the local economy, Hawke’s Bay, and New Zealand.
