Money & You - Consumer Resilience and the Road to Prosperity

As we continue to drive our vision to grow the financial confidence and wellbeing of New Zealanders, this is the 2024 Money & You research report, Consumer Resilience and the Road to Prosperity.

This edition centres on:

• the financial capability and resilience of New Zealanders in the short, medium, and long-term.
• how New Zealand has navigated a recessionary period, building on our 2023 findings that highlighted a perception gap between financial confidence and capability among younger people.
• the broader impact of the cost-of-living crisis, revealing how the geopolitical landscape and economic tightening have influenced personal finances, living expenses, savings, and debt.
