How financially resilient are Kiwis in 2025? Join us for the launch of our annual Financial Resilience Index (FRI) research, which will delve deep into newest research tracking the attitudes and financial situations of New Zealanders.
The FSC's FRI is a unique comprehensive tracking survey capturing New Zealanders’ perspectives on five critical financial resilience indicators: financial confidence, financial literacy, financial preparedness, job security, and wellbeing year on year, with 2025 marking the fifth year of tracking.
Join us for the launch at our free webinar, where industry experts will discuss:
- how the findings show how everyday Kiwis, such as your customers and clients, are navigating pressing issues such as the cost-of-living crisis;
- the progression of financial wellbeing of New Zealanders year on year;
- the top financial issues for New Zealanders today;
- real-life examples of what is happening in the community.
