Navigating the Economic Outlook with Westpac
About this Event
NAVIGATING THE ECONOMIC OUTLOOK WITH WESTPAC
Uncertainty around the economic outlook remains high, with mixed conditions at home and an increasingly challenging global backdrop.
The New Zealand China Trade Association and Westpac invite members and guests to join Westpac Senior Economist Satish Ranchhod for an update on the forces likely to shape New Zealand’s economy over the coming year.
Satish will discuss the outlook for interest rates, inflation and the housing market, as well as the wider domestic and global conditions businesses should be watching. The presentation will be followed by a moderated Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions and explore what the changing outlook could mean for their businesses.
Following the discussion, guests are invited to continue the conversation and connect with members of the NZCTA and Westpac communities over a light lunch.
Registration includes the economic outlook presentation, moderated Q&A and light lunch.
