Financial Resilience Index June 2021

The latest Financial Resilience Index released by the Financial Services Council (FSC) today shows that 12 months on, Covid-19 continues to affect our wellbeing – and that of younger New Zealanders in particular.

The Financial Resilience Index is a major tracking survey of New Zealanders’ views on five key financial resilience indicators: financial confidence, financial literacy, financial preparedness, job security and wellbeing.

“The impacts of Covid continue to be felt as New Zealanders adapt to a new reality. We survived Covid but it has come at a cost, especially for younger Kiwis,” says FSC CEO Richard Klipin.
