Nick Tuffley
ASB Chief Economist
Since starting out in 1997 as an economist, it's fair to say Nick has seen a few hair-raising moments over the years, including the Asian Financial Crisis and the Global Financial Crisis.
One of Nick's strengths is his ability to communicate complex ideas in a readily understandable and entertaining way. He thrives on helping people understand the economic environment to help enrich the quality of their business or personal life. He’s proud to lead a team that has won two Forecast Accuracy Awards from Consensus Economics, and has a strong track record with their Official Cash Rate and dairy price forecasts.
Nick grew up in Christchurch and graduated with a Master of Commerce degree from the University of Canterbury. He learned his economic ropes at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand before a long stint as a Senior Economist at Westpac, and joined ASB as Chief Economist in 2007.

Nathaniel Keall
Economist
A born and bred Aucklander, Nat joined ASB as a fresh-faced graduate in 2018. After a turn in Risk Management, he joined the world of economics seeking a new challenge in 2020. Nat is passionate about the success of the export sector and much of his work focuses on the dynamics in commodity markets and global trade more broadly. He also compiles ASB’s Regional Economic Scoreboard, assists the team with broader research and analysis and generally stands ready with a pun or a bit of wordplay to season a write-up. Nat holds a Bachelors of Arts and Commerce from the University of Auckland, with majors in Economics, Finance and Politics & International Relations.
