The FSC hosted a breakfast to hear the Prime Minister of New Zealand Rt Hon Christopher Luxon's direct address to the sector and to engage in discussions on how global financial, technological trends are converging to shape New Zealand’s future. 

The FSC was pleased to present Outlook 2026, the first premier event for the financial services sector for the new year as we examined the financial services' role not as a passive recipient of global change, but as an active participant and innovator within the New Zealand and global financial ecosystem.

The morning looked at trends, opportunities and the contribution the financial services sector will play in New Zealand's economy.
