Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington is hosting a series of three online Spotlight Lectures, starting Tuesday 12 May.

As we emerge from the immediate crisis of COVID-19, attention and debate is now turning to the shape of the our post-lockdown economic recovery and how this evolving situation might impact New Zealand’s economic resilience.

Facilitated by Professor Alan Bollard, leading experts and academics will share their insights and perspectives on the economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, what short to medium-term relief efforts might be implemented to limit the economic damage, as well as discussions on longer-term recovery strategies.

We expect this event to generate a lively discussion among panellists and a chance for the audience to ask curated questions.
