We have a Christmas suprise this year! Not only has our Chief Forecaster Gareth Kiernan economically adapted the Christmas song “Let it snow" but you can also see him perform it live here!
In another Christmas staple, Principal Economist and Chief Executive Brad Olsen examines the cost of Christmas, and in particular the Kiwi BBQ, in our December Chart of the Month.
As 2026 approaches, our economists will be keeping a close eye on economic developments in New Zealand and around the world, and we will continue to deliver up-to-date assessments and insights.
We wish all our newsletter readers and clients a very joyful Festive Season.
Stay safe and happy over summer!
