The 2025 New Zealand Economics Forum

"Unconstrained thinking for constrained times"

The theme for this year’s forum is 'Unconstrained thinking for constrained times'.

Families, Businesses and the Government are struggling with constraints on spending. At the same time, we face important long-term questions in areas such as education, health and infrastructure – all of which create a draw on resources – while also examining emerging technologies in genetic engineering and artificial intelligence, and navigating a complex geopolitical landscape.

It is a challenging environment with multiple trade-offs. The two-day event will bring together leading economists, business and community leaders, and public sector officials to discuss the most pressing economic issues facing New Zealand, and share insights that will help challenge and inform us.

Please visit the 2025 NZ Economics Forum webpage for more information.

Seats are strictly limited, so mark the dates in your calendar - 13 & 14 February 2025 - and reserve your tickets now.

The forum will take place in the University of Waikato's student hub and events facility, The Pā.
