Forecasting
NZ economic forecasting
Infometrics economists help decision makers and analysts understand the economic environment facing their organisation, sector, or region.
We don’t pretend to know the future, but we can help to shed light on the balance of economic opportunities and risks in the New Zealand economy and beyond. A clear understanding of your external environment can help you make better business decisions.
With over 40 years experience in forecasting the outlook for the general economy, building and property, and transport sectors, Infometrics has expanded over recent years to include detailed industry and regional economic and labour market forecasts. We also publish periodic reports, such as our annual Infrastructure Survey, which contains a wealth of detailed information on the outlook for infrastructure work nationally and in our regions.
Our NZ economic forecasting reports are presented in straightforward language that is easy to understand. Our economists are also on hand to guide you through the issues relevant to your industry and can provide you with tailored advice should you require more detailed analysis.

Customer reviews
Gough Group
“The Gough Group has been working with Gareth Kiernan and the Infometrics team for more than 6 years now. The analysis provided, and the easy translation of complex sets of data into understandable and relevant information, has been a crucial factor in the development of the strategic planning processes within the Group, and aiding our growth. The independent and unbiased analysis of a range of markets and indicators has been especially useful when combined with tailored Infometrics one-on-one and Group presentations.
Our senior management teams find these presentations, and the on-line data sets and analysis, a great aid in forming a view of future markets. We would have no hesitation recommending the team at Infometrics to anyone looking for a concise and insightful view of the macro and micro economic environment.”

We have worked with them for many years and built a strong working relationship with the Infometrics team. Their knowledge, expertise and the way they make data so easily accessible are key reasons why their service works for BCITO.
The Infometrics team have comprehensive knowledge of the construction sector and their building forecasts help us understand the environment in which we operate. Their collaborative approach results in an excellent understanding of construction sector drivers, and provide us with a solid basis for future planning.
One of the things we really love about Infometrics is the informative and topical way information is presented. They take the time to ensure key messages make sense to our wider readership. In addition to written / web material, we incorporate Informetrics into industry and BCITO presentations. These opportunities to interact with the Infometrics team are highly valued with our people taking the opportunity to tap into their considerable economic knowledge.
The Infometrics Sector Profiles are vital for our business and make our lives so much easier. They bring together a vast array of information for each of the 15 construction sectors that we operate in. The Profile Tool is easy to use and we wish they had been developed years ago.”
