A widening economic divide between the North and South Islands
5 July 2021
ASB's regional economic scoreboard shows North Island regions take the top nine spots.
Meanwhile, southern regions are in the bottom seven.
Chief Economist Nick Tuffley says the South's low score is expected.
He says it reflects the challenges of the pandemic, as regions in the South Island are dependent on international tourists.
