Nick Tuffley: ASB Senior Economist on the results of ASB's Regional Economic Scoreboard

from The SME Stream · host iHeartRadio NZ

It's a tale of two cities, with Canterbury crowned the top regional economy and Wellington finishing last.   ASB's latest Regional Economic Scoreboard shows Canterbury outperformed in nearly every key measure, including employment, retail spending, housing activity, and population growth.  Otago and Waikato tied for second and Auckland climbed to fourth.  ASB Chief Economist Nick Tuffley told Mike Hosking it follows the theme they’ve seen over the past few years of export-focused regions being more resilient.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
