- Description
- This report was produced in partnership with NGM Group and builds on the previous Institute for Regional Futures Regions Matter research by taking a deeper dive into the financial behaviours and perceptions of not only our local regional communities, but more broadly of the cities and regions across the nation. Although we are a nation of prosperity, recent local and global economic factors have presented challenges for the financial stability of many communities – both regional and metropolitan. This report outlines the importance of several factors that contribute to a buoyant view of financial confidence and future financial stability. It particularly highlights the challenges faced by young people, women and non-homeowners who report facing financial pressure and lower confidence in managing financial matters, thereby strengthening the need for ongoing efforts to build financial literacy and the importance of proactive financial planning.
