Mood of
the CFO

2026 Reports

What are New Zealand’s finance leaders thinking? Twice this year, we asked them.

The Mood of the CFO 2026 Report, released in June, captures how CFOs see the economy, their business performance and the year ahead. As the election drew closer, we went back to them for the 2026 Election Pulse Report: how they’re voting, what they want from the next government and how their businesses are tracking.

Hunter Campbell is proud to partner with Tax Traders, Infometrics, Insights Exchange, ASB and Extraordinary on the Mood of the CFO research.
