Research
Our research team provides wide-ranging coverage of economic, financial and political developments in New Zealand and abroad to help inform individuals and businesses as they analyse risk and make financial decisions.
The work of the Research team provides not only commentary on events as they happen but, more importantly, thoughts on how these might impact household, investor and business prospects. Working closely with our NAB colleagues we also provide a view on international developments with a strong focus on Australia and the commodities it produces.
While much of our output is dedicated to the production of economic and financial market forecasts, our primary focus is on providing substantive advice on risk in its many forms, to help businesses and individuals knowledgeably position themselves according to their own risk profiles.
In almost all cases this analysis is available free of charge and without restriction through our dedicated research website.
Amongst other things, the research team produces:
- In-depth fortnightly Strategist and Models & Technical publications
- A weekly preview of economic announcements and possible financial market developments
- Regular notes on key economic, financial market and political announcements and events as they occur
- The Performance of Manufacturing and Services Indices in conjunction with Business New Zealand
- A monthly rural wrap
- Fixed interest research
- A multitude of foreign exchange research pieces, including momentum and technical analysis, to complement our core macro view
