Focus on Business with Brad Olsen

Join us for breakfast at Focus on Business to hear Brad Olsen, one of New Zealand’s most prominent economic commentators, offer valuable insights into the local and national economy.

Staring down the barrel of a recession, with the housing market in decline, inflation hitting hard, and Cyclone Gabrielle devastating parts of the region, there are a lot of challenges in 2023 for Hastings, Hawke’s Bay, and New Zealand more broadly. But there’s also solid economic momentum and underlying economic strength.

Join Brad as he discusses what lies ahead for the local economy and New Zealand as various trends converge over 2023.
