Infometrics Chief Executive and Principal Economist Brad Olsen and Senior Economist Nick Brunsdon share our latest population insights at a regional and national level. Net migration to New Zealand reached record highs over the past year, as New Zealand’s borders were reopened for the first time since 2020. Reopening our borders has enabled record high arrivals of non-citizens, but at the same time the departure of New Zealand citizens remains elevated. In this webinar, we explore the uneven impact of these shifts in net migration on regional population and employment growth. We profile the winners, losers, and key themes from Stats NZ’s latest (2023) subnational population estimates. We also highlight our economic analysis of the 2023 General Election and our recently released economic forecasts, and how these all fit together.
