Business South, in partnership with Forsyth Barr, welcomes Reserve Bank Governor Dr Anna Breman to Ĺtepoti Dunedin for an economic update, giving Otago and Southland business leaders a rare opportunity to hear directly from the Governor about what the September Monetary Policy Statement means for our for the New Zealand economy, while exploring the key factors shaping our regional outlook.
Interest rates, inflation, and the broader economic outlook shape every decision our members make, from investment and hiring to pricing and growth, yet the reasoning behind Reserve Bank decisions can feel distant from the realities of running a business in the lower South Island.
This session closes that gap. You'll hear the thinking behind the OCR decision straight from the Governor and Chair of the Monetary Policy Committee, understand what it means for borrowing costs and business confidence heading into the rest of the year, and have the chance to ask the questions that matter most to your business.
No new insights will be provided beyond those in the 02 September 2026 Monetary Policy Statement.
What to expect:
- An address from Reserve Bank Governor Dr Anna Breman
- Audience Q&A
- Networking with fellow members over afternoon tea
