Manawatū’s Annual Economic Snapshot distils the region’s economic drivers and insights into a clear dashboard, to see how we’re tracking at a regional and national level.
Please note: The indicators on this dashboard are updated at different times because they are sourced from a range of national and regional data providers, each with their own reporting cycles and release schedules. While the dashboard reflects the most recent data available up to September 2025, some measures - such as GDP, employment, or sector performance are published quarterly or annually, while others may be released more frequently. As a result, the reference dates showns alongside each indicator may vary, ensuring the dashboard presents the most accurate and up-to-date view across all metrics.
Our Quarterly Economic Snapshots offer in-depth analysis of what’s happening across key sectors in the Manawatū economy. Published every three months, they provide the latest data and commentary to help businesses understand trends and plan with confidence.
