    Businesses are staying upbeat, but that's yet to follow through to spending and investment

    Businesses are staying upbeat, but that's yet to follow through to spending and investment

    26 August 2025
    Business think tank NZIER's continuing to predict a gradual economic recovery.

    NZIER is forecasting two more OCR cuts this year - with falling interest rates supporting a gradual recovery in household spending.

    But households are expected to remain cautious, with unemployment high.

    Food prices are expected to push inflation back above three-percent, but the slow pace of recovery may help bring it back down again.
