What The Boardroom Really Wants: Stability, Not Sides

Andy Milne from Christian Savings unpacks the latest "Mood of the Boardroom" survey, a poll of around 150 business leaders that gauges confidence in the government and opposition, and flags the issues most likely to shape the economy ahead of the election.

Mr Milne argues the real story isn't a simple preference for National over Labour, but a growing frustration with New Zealand's "policy pendulum", where incoming governments repeatedly unwind the last one's reforms. He highlights that political instability ranks as business leaders' top concern, above fuel costs and cyber attacks, and notes they're more confident about New Zealand's own prospects than the global economy, while cautioning that boardroom priorities are just one interest group among many that politicians must weigh.
