Daily Tracker to 23 April 2020

Lockdown economic data continues to show very low levels of activity. Electricity use has bounced up, partly because of cooler weather. Our index is not adjusted for temperature variations.

Our full dashboard can be seen here.

Economic monitoring is getting much better. Statistics NZ is releasing high frequency economic data here. A really great initiative. We checked out the data compared to ours, they measure similar things. For example, the daily traffic data for Auckland follows a similar pattern, but our data is more up to date.
