COVID-19: Have we forgotten about climate change?
Climate change and Covid-19, the two major C-words running the world the past few years. Initially, the lockdowns seemed good for the state of the planet, with significantly reduced car and manufacturing emissions, smog lifted around the world. However, as Kai-Yun Gao wrote in the very first Bulletin Edition, the Covid-19 pandemic caused a surge in disposable medical equipment in the interest of protecting healthcare professionals.

How close is the US to economic Armageddon?
“Unprecedented economic and financial storm,” were the words chosen by US treasury secretary, Janet Yellen, when asked to give her thoughts on what would come to pass should the US default. On the one hand, they may be ignored as the ramblings of another paranoid economist trying to have their Burry Big Short moment.

New Zealand’s SMEs: A Snapshot 2022
Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) account for 97% of all NZ businesses and are at the heart of our local economy and communities.
MYOB has been helping businesses across ANZ start, survive and succeed for more than 30 years, and just like we’re not the same business we were three decades ago, neither are the local SMEs we serve.
Taking insights from the MYOB Business Monitor and a range of other data sources, we’ve pulled together an overview of what the typical SME looks like today in New Zealand.
Read the full report here.
