Newsletter - March 2022

March has sped past, with a number of important topics in focus for the Infometrics team. Analysis of inflation, Omicron, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine are key topics of discussion at present and are informing our thinking as we prepare our next forecasts (available in April) and assessment of the economy. This month our articles cover a wide selection of insights from our team.

First up is Principal Economist Brad Olsen with an examination of current migration trends, the current net migration outflow, and why we might face a brain-drain.

Senior Economist Nick Brunsdon looks at New Zealand’s current labour market challenges and argues that our changing population will place continual pressure on the jobs market.

Brad’s analysed some of the data published about New Zealand’s LGBT+ community, after the first release of data by Stats NZ last year.

And finally, Economist Andrew Beattie takes at look at oil prices for our Chart of the Month.
