Independent commentator Bernard Hickey talks about economics, politics and business

Electra Business Breakfast – B2B networking – Sponsored by Electra

Nau mai haere mai Electra Business Breakfast is looking forward to welcoming Bernard Hickey, an independent commentator and writer about economics, politics, business and infrastructure. He has plenty to say about all sorts of things including the long-awaited opening of Transmission Gully and Kāpiti homeowners in particular, who have been reaping the benefit of this mammoth build for a few years now.

Budget 2022 will be delivered on Thursday 19 May by the Finance Minister Grant Robertson. He says the Budget will focus on the Government’s heath reforms and investing to meet climate change goals. He has also said they will be prioritising their objectives to strike a balance between the important projects that need to be done and the ongoing need for fiscal sustainability. No doubt Bernard will have something to say about this approach.

See you there! Book early to avoid disappointment.
