The New Economic Normal

By Jason Heale

Maxim Institute Regional Lecture Series

What this financial climate means for Aotearoa New Zealand

We’ve been through two difficult years dealing with COVID-19, and now we’re seeing the economic effects. Interest rates are rising, and the housing market is volatile. The cost of living has soared, and many must choose which bills they do or don’t pay. Inflation is at a 30-year high, and the stock market is in bear territory; recession is predicted for the end of the year.

How long might this uncertainty last? What impact do global trends have? How best can we navigate it? One of our country’s leading economists, and the only one to correctly predict our current 7.3% inflation rate, will answer these and other questions.

We have two unique events coming up in Wellington and Christchurch:

Wellington

Thursday 25th August 2022
6.30pm
The Eatery – St Johns Bar
5 Cable Street, Te Aro,
Wellington

Christchurch

Friday 26th August 2022
6.30pm
The Glasshouse Botanic – Christchurch
126 Oxford Terrace,
Christchurch

Limited spaces are available for this unique event. We’d love to see you there.

At Maxim, we value our community. Because of this, we’ve created a unique event for 2022: a light dinner and conversation evening with the Maxim team and Brad Olsen, Principal Economist and Director at Infometrics, one of New Zealand’s leading economic commentators. These special events will be in Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, and Christchurch. We can’t wait to see you.
