News | Attendees joined the Treasury’s Chief Economic Advisor, Dominick Stephens, for an Auckland presentation on the Budget 2024 economic and fiscal outlook.
The Treasury published the Budget 2024 Economic and Fiscal Update on 30 May 2024, as part of the wider package of Budget documents. Attendees joined this seminar to better understand the Treasury economic and fiscal forecasts which underpinned Budget 2024.
The Treasury’s Chief Economic Advisor outlined the Treasury’s position on the international and New Zealand economic outlook, and the implications for forecasts of aggregate fiscal indicators, such as revenue and the Government’s operating balance and debt indicators. Dominick also explored the reasons for the recent downward revisions to the Treasury’s productivity forecasts, as outlined in a recent Treasury Paper on the global and New Zealand productivity slowdown.
This in-person only event was organised in partnership with the Auckland Business Chamber and was introduced by its CEO, Simon Bridges.
