Our Graduate Macroeconomic Stream

Please join Treasury staff online 5-6pm, 22 March 2022 to hear about macro graduate opportunities

The New Zealand Treasury’s vision is lifting living standards for all New Zealanders.

As Te Tai Ōhanga, we are committed to tiakitanga (guardianship, caring, protection, upkeep) to make New Zealand a better place for people today and in the future. 

We safeguard New Zealand's finances and are the Government's trusted economic advisor. We lead, partner and collaborate, and we help steward the public sector, in order to navigate the big challenges and opportunities for New Zealand.

Renee Philip and Peter Gardiner (respectively the Managers of the Macro Policy and the Modelling Research and Forecasting teams) would like to share information about the opportunities for graduate students to join the Macro Stream at the New Zealand Treasury – Te Tai Ōhanga. Staff in the Treasury’s Macroeconomic Stream focus on improving New Zealanders’ wellbeing through macroeconomics and fiscal policy, forecasting, and modelling and research.

Renee and Peter will be joined by recent graduates who can describe their experience in these teams, the flexible working environment at the Treasury, and the types of projects that they have worked on as members of those teams.

The Macro Stream’s work programme includes:

• Advising on monetary and fiscal policy frameworks;
• Advising the Government on the stance and sustainability of fiscal policy;
• Supporting the Minister of Finance’s statutory roles regarding the Reserve Bank’s monetary policy functions;
• Structural modelling and applied macro policy analysis;
• Time series analysis; and
• Macro monitoring and fiscal forecasting.

Post-graduate students with skills either in macroeconomics, finance, econometrics, statistics, computational methods (programming), or economics more broadly, are encouraged to apply by the 31 March 2022, to join the Treasury in 2023. See Graduate opportunities (treasury.govt.nz).
