About the Waikato Regional Economic Profile

This profile provides information so that everyone can have a shared understanding of the economic issues and opportunities facing the Waikato region and can take steps collaboratively to address these.

The profile considers both the fundamentals and drivers for the Waikato regional economy, drawing on secondary material sourced from a wide range of organisations, and primary data from the Economic Futures Model of the regional economy obtained by Waikato Regional Council.

The body of the profile is divided into the following chapters:

  • Key indicators
  • Export sectors
  • Infrastructure
  • People
  • Natural resources
  • Institutions
  • Iwi
  • Business and industry
  • Capital
  • Innovation system

Waikato Regional Council intends to make available publicly timely information about aspects of the Waikato regional economy on an ongoing basis.
