Auckland Economic Monitor

A summary of key macroeconomic information about Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.

Tātaki Auckland Unlimited last prepared a comprehensive overview of Auckland’s economic performance in 2018, entitled the ‘Auckland Growth Monitor’. The publication provided a valuable and easily digestible overview of Auckland’s macroeconomic performance.

In the absence of the Growth Monitor, there has been no such publication which collated key macroeconomic information about Auckland’s economy in one place. While much of the relevant economic data is publicly available, it is dispersed across many different locations and sources, can be hard to interpret, and is not often accompanied by commentary which identifies key trends, challenges and opportunities.

With the release of this publication, Tātaki Auckland Unlimited – with the support of PwC New Zealand – has re-established an important source of information and analysis about the economic performance of the Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland region from an industry and labour market perspective.

The Auckland Economic Monitor will be prepared on an annual basis, with updates to key data and insights as new data becomes available. The data and insights contained in this publication can also be found at aucklandeconomicmonitor.com, and it is here that relevant data and insights will be updated on an interim basis.

Focus of the 2024 monitor report

• The 2024 Economic Monitor report focuses on what Auckland’s economy looks like today, and how it has changed in the five years since the last report
• The 2025 report will likely include more on how Auckland emerges from a challenging 2024 and what the latest Census data tells us about Auckland’s population and its economy, with more detailed demographic, housing, employment, income and education data being released from late 2024 through to mid-2025. 

Information base

• The information provided in this report is primarily sourced from StatsNZ and Infometrics, with some specific metrics also taken from other sources.
• For certain metrics, the most recent data available is for the year ended March 2023. While this inherently means that the ‘current’ data presented in this report is more than a year old, effort has been made to provide additional commentary that reflects more recent trends or estimates ...
