Press Release: BNZ Weekly

Mission Statement

To help Kiwi businesspeople and householders make informed financial decisions by discussing the economy in a language they can understand.

Our monthly survey of BNZ Weekly Overview readers has revealed a small decrease in sentiment regarding the economy over the coming year to a net 18% positive from 27% in early May. This result is not surprising considering that we attribute the surge in confidence to a record level in May as largely reflecting a “sigh of relief” that the Depression scenario was off the table rather than widespread expectations of bountiful growth just ahead.
