International education a key growth opportunity for regions

With dairy prices having continued their downward trajectory over recent months, economic confidence has begun to wobble in some parts of the country.  Nevertheless, there are still many parts of the New Zealand economy going well, with service sector activity in particular booming.  This month we have put our focus on exploring the recent good performance of the international education sector and how regions can ensure they are getting their share of the lucrative export education pie.  We also wade into the Auckland housing debate and look at whether it is ever rational for businesses to provide mediocre service.   For those of you wanting to analyse your sector or industry in more detail, there is also a piece introducing Infometrics sector profile service.  

Gareth Kiernan is in Auckland this week as part of the Infometrics seminar roadshow.  These seminars are always in high demand around the country and Gareth’s calendar over the coming weeks is filling up quickly.  If you are still interested in getting Gareth to deliver a macroeconomic presentation to your organisation, get in touch and we can arrange a time to suit.
