Crunch launches with an economic boom
Bell Gully's popular Crunch Time series, drawing together key politicians and business and community leaders to discuss major issues facing New Zealand, has started for the year with a critical look at the economy.
The first Crunch discussion held last week featured Reserve Bank Governor Dr Alan Bollard and, in Wellington, Xero CEO Rod Drury and Rob Cameron, partner at Cameron Partners. In Auckland, Dr Bollard was joined by Fletcher Building CEO Jonathan Ling, and New Zealand Business Roundtable Chairman and Ernst & Young managing partner Rob McLeod.
Panellists discussed the economy from a wide range of perspectives under Chatham House Rule. The rule creates an "off the record" forum to encourage open and free debate.
The next Crunch Time is set to take place in June.
