A new global report from Ernst and Young says New Zealand’s economy is in the strongest position in the world to recover from the pandemic, for now.
The report says that our economy is apparently at the front of the pack, but that could quickly change because of our slow vaccine rollout and current lack of a plan to fill the gap that immigration has left.
Ernst and Young NZ partner Chris Money told Mike Hosking the study has shown that economic growth and recovery is now tightly linked to vaccination numbers.
“New Zealand is one of the slowest in the OECD, according to World Health data, and maintaining momentum of that now that it has started is going to be critical in leveraging our forwards economic growth programme.”
