Our Quarterly Economic Monitor (QEM) provides a focused, timely, finger-on-the-pulse insight into how your local economy has performed over the previous quarter with expert commentary from Infometrics’ regional economists and a range of economic indicators.

• Leading economic indicators: GDP, consumer spending, population and traffic flows
• Property market shifts: house values and sales numbers
• Industry trends: construction activity, tourist spending, dairy pay outs, and vehicle registrations
• Labour market dynamics: unemployment rate and benefit recipients
• Living standards: housing and rental affordability.

The QEM is simple to use without compromising on detail. The QEM is presented in an easy-to-use web-based interactive dashboard. Our data visualisations turn complex data into easily understood information. You don’t need to be a data expert or statistics genius to use our products. The QEM is updated every three months with the latest data, and also includes an infographic, league tables that rank New Zealand areas, and a data download function.

With the economic effects of COVID-19 unfolding at a breath-taking pace, getting timely updates on a range of economic indicators allows local decision makers, local businesses, and the public to better understand how their local economy is responding and adapting. The Quarterly Economic Monitor can be used to:

• Track, understand and anticipate trends in economic activity
• Monitor your economic development strategy by measuring key performance indicators
• Compare your region against comparator regions or the national average

You can also improve the flow of information to businesses and the general public, by making the Quarterly Economic Monitor available on your website.
