NORTH HARBOUR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY GROUP:
PROPERTY & THE ECONOMY POST-ELECTION 2020
With Tony Alexander, Independent Economist

The potential negative impact could be on the public sector’s “shovel-ready projects” as these private contracts cut into a shrunken labour force.
He reported that the economy is performing far better than had been expected, but this is perhaps because forecasters had not much data to work with. Read more.

Her thought for the day was a quote from Henry Ford:
When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it. Read more.
