Mood of the Boardroom 2023
The Herald’s Mood of the Boardroom Election 2023 CEOs Survey attracted participation from 120 respondents.
This year, 100 chief executives, 14 senior directors or chairs, and the heads of six business organisations participated.
They include leaders of New Zealand’s biggest companies ranging across agribusiness, banking and finance, manufacturing, aviation and tourism, transport and logistics, education, telecommunications, environmental services, energy, insurance, professional services, and more.
The survey was in field from August 28-September 20.
Results from an earlier BusinessNZ election survey taking the pulse on some key issues are on B36-37.
The Herald’s CEOs survey was launched in 2002 within a Herald State of the Nation report. This is the 21st edition of Mood of the Boardroom.
The debate between the finance minister and their opponent is a feature of the annual launch breakfast. It has featured Finance Ministers: the late Sir Michael Cullen, Sir Bill English, Steven Joyce and Grant Robertson. The opponents have included Don Brash, Sir John Key, David Cunliffe, Amy Adams, Paul Goldsmith and Nicola Willis.
A huge thank you to everyone who has played a role in this year’s survey, particularly the participants. We appreciate your effort.
