Cameron Bagrie: The Truth About NZ’s “Construction Downturn”

In this episode, Cameron Bagrie breaks down what’s really happening in the New Zealand economy right now — from the uneven recovery across regions to why the construction downturn isn’t as bad as it feels. We cover the impact of global uncertainty, rising oil prices and the Middle East on local markets, what’s next for interest rates, and why productivity — not property — will define the next phase of growth. A straight-talking, on-the-ground perspective for builders, developers and business owners navigating 2026.
