The event will begin with brief introductions, followed by a presentation from Dr Ganesh Nana.

Dr Nana will be speaking about the need to expand our understanding of productivity for a more resilient Aotearoa. Expanding the traditional version of the productivity of GDP to embrace wellbeing encourages us to value inputs and outcomes, as importantly as outputs. With wellbeing including equitable opportunities and protecting our taonga (resources), productivity remains the key to delivering sustained intergenerational wellbeing alongside a prosperous economy.

Dr Nana’s presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.

This event will be held online via Zoom. A joining link will be sent the day prior to the event.

About our Presenter Dr Ganesh Nana

Ganesh Nana, Chair, New Zealand Productivity Commission Te Kōmihana Whai Hua o Aotearoa

Ganesh is a first-generation New Zealander, born, bred, and educated in Te Whanganui a Tara. His interest in economics originally emanated from his love of numbers, which in turn arose out of his passion for cricket.

Ganesh took up the position of Chair of the Productivity Commission Te Kōmihana Whai Hua o Aotearoa after 22 years at the consultancy Business and Economics Research Limited (BERL). His work at BERL covered a broad range of projects. His highlight was efforts in strengthening relationships with Māori entities and organisations and building an understanding of te ōhanga Māori.

In 2018 he was appointed a member of the Government established Welfare Expert Advisory Group, which reported back in 2019 with Whakamana Tangata – Restoring Dignity to Social Security in New Zealand.

Ganesh believes economics is fundamentally about people and is best reflected in our collective role as kaitiaki o taonga.
