Breakfast with Economist Tony Alexander

Despite rising interest rates, supply chain problems, cost of living increases, falling house prices and a brain drain, the NZ economy will continue to grow over the coming year. However businesses face some large challenges, not the least of which will be worsening labour shortages. If higher wages cannot be afforded then some hard decisions will need to be made regarding ability to continue in operation, potential for economies of scale through acquisition, or boosting labour productivity with new investment. At least prospects for interest rate rises are not necessarily all that severe.
