In our April 2021 Monthly Economic Webinar, Infometrics Chief Forecaster Gareth Kiernan, Senior Economist Alistair Schorn, and Economist Andrew Beattie will discuss our latest report, “Food for thought – export potential from the Top of the South” and highlight some of the prospects for growing exports from Te Tauihu (the Top of the South Island) into new markets. Finding new markets for exports is a key strategy for growing our businesses. Diversifying away from single large markets will make our businesses more resilient. Infometrics, together with international trade experts, has developed an approach to help businesses, industries, and economic development agencies identify markets around the world which offer the greatest potential for growth. The product, Export Market Finder, takes decision making away from gut feel and anecdote to rigorous, evidence-based analysis.
