New Zealand’s finance leaders are more confident for the year ahead. 

A new report from the Hunter Campbell Group shows an uptick in confidence from CFOs, with 38% expecting modest to strong growth over the next 12 months – up from 31% last year. 

But on the flip side, confidence in the Government’s ‘responsiveness’ remains low across the board. 

Hunter Campbell Managing Partner Lee Marshall told Mike Hosking they’re starting to see a two speed economy take shape in New Zealand, with almost half of businesses surveyed meeting or exceeding their targets, while the other half stagnated or went backwards. 

He says in general, those whose businesses performed well in the last 12 months are very confident things will continue to improve in the next 12 months.
