Newsletter - March 2023

The year is moving at pace still, with the end of March 2023 fast approaching! This time of the year means we’ve finally got economic activity data for the end of 2022. Chief Executive and Principal Economist Brad Olsen has analysed the latest figures to see how different industries have performed over the three years since the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

Senior Economist Nick Brunsdon has taken a dive into New Zealand’s tech sector, and how we actually define what’s in it and why. Indeed, the usual standards don’t work particularly well, and “tech” is a slippery fish to get a handle on.

We introduce our newest member of the team, Economist Sabrina Swerdloff, in the latest of our “A day in the life of an economist” series.

Finally, Brad rounds out the newsletter by examining global economic growth prospects in 2023, and how different parts of the world economy are set to perform. Keep an eye on Asia as a key area of growth, even as other parts of the world see growth stymied in an attempt to stifle inflation.
