Nick Tuffley: ASB Chief Economist on a brighter outlook for the economy in 2026



Signs of a brighter economy in the year to come. 
 
ASB's forecasting annual growth of more than two-and a half percent in 2026.
 
It points to an accelerated housing market, more resilient exports, and a renewed willingness to spend.
 
Chief Economist Nick Tuffley told Heather du Plessis-Allan we can expect inflation to soften further,  with the Reserve Bank seeing more stimulus in the pipeline. 
 
He says it's in wait and see mode - but seems fairly confident it won't have to cut interest rates any further.
