More about Cameron…
At ANZ Cameron took the team beyond commentary on the usual economic indicators and wrote extensively on everything from agriculture to banking and credit facilitation, key industries and Government fiscal policy.
His approach to economics is pragmatic and non-ideological. Too much commentary focuses on what the Reserve Bank does while ignoring microeconomics and the wider economy. As a public speaker Cameron has a real talent for communicating complex issues in layperson’s language.
Cameron holds BCom from the University of Otago and an M Com from the University of Canterbury.
