Last week Infometrics hosted a business breakfast to launch the Regional Hotspots report. The launch was a great success and we were delighted to connect with clients and new users in this way. The report is available to everyone and highlights the 10 metropolitan and 3 provincial areas where Infometrics forecasts population growth over the next decade. A link to the report is included in the newsletter article.
This month Gareth Kiernan examines the cost of repairing Kaikoura and what this means for the region. He also looks at the cost of commercial property in Auckland and the impact this is having on investment in this sector.
We pick up again on our regular article series “A day in the life of an economist” with an interview with Benje Patterson before he heads off to Queenstown and joins the growing number of New Zealanders who choose to work remotely from areas away from the large metropolitan centres. We wish him every success in the future.
