Westpac Smarts – Economic Overview with Chief Economist

It was great to welcome Southland Business Chamber members and Westpac clients to the Westpac Smarts – Economic Overview at the Ascot Park Hotel.

Westpac Chief Economist Kelly Eckhold and Market Strategist Imre Speizer shared an informative update on current economic conditions, market trends and what may lie ahead for businesses and the wider economy.

The session gave attendees the chance to hear directly from two of Westpac’s leading economic experts and better understand some of the factors currently shaping the business environment.

A big thank you to Westpac for bringing this valuable session to Southland and sharing their knowledge with our local business community.
