Regional Pulse: what’s shaping confidence, spending and growth in Auckland?

Your business doesn’t run on national averages. It runs on what people in Auckland are earning, spending and planning. That’s the local bit most economic commentary skips.

The Regional Pulse is new research commissioned by MTF Finance and conducted by Kantar and NZME, into how households and businesses are really doing, region by region. Some parts of the country are quietly optimistic. Others are feeling the squeeze. The interesting part is why, and what this tells us about what comes next for our region’s economy.

Join MTF Finance and Business South as Chris Lamers and MTF Finance Chief Executive Officer, and Simon Bridges, CEO of Auckland Business Chamber, reflect on what the research says about Auckland and the Upper North Island: where confidence sits, what’s holding people back, and what would help them take the next step.

Local MTF Finance franchise owners, who work alongside your businesses and families every day, will add what they’re hearing on the ground.

You’ll leave with:

• A clearer read on how your customers are feeling, and where they’re likely to spend on or hold off on
• Insights into how Auckland and the Upper North Island compare with what we’re seeing elsewhere in New Zealand – what’s different, and why does it matter?
• A local perspective from people who see these decisions being made every day
