How Peter is building a better working world
Peter is committed to helping clients use economics to make better decisions and to capitalize on the opportunities it offers. He assists clients to take a detailed approach to decision-making through consideration of wider economic and social consequences of policy, recognizing the trade-off between competing objectives and timelines.
In doing so, he drives better long-term financial, economic and societal value in decision-making, thereby contributing to a better working world for clients and our communities. Analysis of economic data has been vital to help clients assess the impact on jobs, income, sector growth and the policy drivers which would contribute to our society’s wellbeing.
