Listen "Roger Patridge: NZ Initiative Co-founder and Chair on the results of the Mood of the Boardroom Survey"

Episode Synopsis

A grim outlook from business leaders.  The Herald's annual Mood of the Boardroom survey shows business leaders are less optimistic about the economy than they were a year ago.  They’re calling for more bipartisanship when it comes to tax, retirement, and the long-term outlook for New Zealand.  NZ Initiative co-founder and Chair Roger Patridge told Francesca Rudkin the business community is looking for clear direction from the Government, and it doesn’t feel like they’re delivering.  He says there’s pretty much unanimous agreement the economy isn’t taking off in the ways we were promised.  LISTEN ABOVE  The podcasts in the SME Stream contain general information only, not financial or professional advice.
