Cameron is the Manging Director of Bagrie Economics, and was formerly the Chief Economist of ANZ.  He is known for having a straight shooting approach to economics.  He also sits on a number of boards, and has a passion for improving education outcomes.

Cameron has a deep understanding of financial markets, is not aligned to any financial organisation and the experience and credibility to tackle tough economic issues and take a stand.

He takes a direct, straight-talking approach. His ability to communicate trends and developments in layperson’s language gives clients a framework to think about the issues that affect them.

Bagrie Economics is a heavily customised model of research rather than solely a contracting and project based one.

Bagrie Economics is a premier boutique research firm dedicated to providing independent and authoritative analysis of the New Zealand economy and broader economic matters. We pride ourselves on delivering straightforward, no-spin evaluations of economic trends and data.

Recognizing that quality economic insights shouldn't be exclusive to large entities with in-house economists, we extend our expertise to various businesses and organizations. Our profound market experience, coupled with our total independence from financial institutions, ensures that our analysis serves your best interests.

Whether through direct presentations, policy assistance, proprietary indicators, road shows, or white-label research, we aim to add value and insights to both you and your clients. Our lead economist, Cameron, boasts a 20-year career in the field, having served as the Chief Economist at ANZ for over 11 years and holding positions at the National Bank, Treasury, and Statistics New Zealand. Rooted in his mainland heritage, Cameron's approach to economics is both pragmatic and unbiased.
