We would like you to join us for a networking session and presentation from Kiwibank's Chief Economist Jarrod Kerr, who will chat about the outlook for the NZ economy and how this may impact Kiwi businesses. 

If you are curious about what will happen with interest rates, how are global economic conditions impacting NZ, what to expect in the next 12 months, then this presentation is for you. 

Jarrod will provide an in-depth view on the Kiwi economy, focusing on the pressure points for Kiwi businesses. We are at an interesting point in the economic cycle. The RBNZ has inflicted much pain, in the pursuit of price stability. They are winning the war in inflation. And their next move is likely to be a cut, this year. In doing so, we should see an uplift in activity. There's light at the end of the tunnel. 

WHEN | Wednesday, 1 October 
TIME | 7:30am - 9:00am 
WHERE | Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce, Level 3, 15 Daly Street, Lower Hutt 
COST | Complimentary
