Neil Paviour-Smith: Forsyth Barr Managing Director on the results of the Mood of the Boardroom survey

Business leaders aren’t sugarcoating their messages for the Government.   The Herald's annual Mood of the Boardroom survey shows business leaders are less optimistic about the economy than they were a year ago.  Only a third of respondents back the Government's current growth agenda.  Forsyth Barr Managing Director Neil Paviour-Smith told Mike Hosking concerns are being expressed about the need to tackle the difficult problems and long-term issues.  He says there’s a need for the Government to be much clearer around the plan to tackle things like infrastructure, long-term savings, and the Crown’s fiscal position, which acts as a ball and chain around the economy.  LISTEN ABOVE  The podcasts in the SME Stream contain general information only, not financial or professional advice.
