About
fxmatters is a blog, mainly providing opinion on the NZ dollar by economist Anthony Byett, but more generally about finance, economics and financial markets.
The blog is provided free. There are no advertising fees accepted. Any opinions are presented in good faith.
In earlier days there was more forex detail provided through the website in the form of a subscriber-only newsletter. These reports and associated web pages remain available on the site to the subscribers at the time but have not been updated since June 2008.
Anthony is available – for a fee – for analysis and advice on your own currency situation, and for more general economic analysis (e.g. macro forecasts, trend analysis, economic impact study, pricing models).

About Anthony
Anthony Byett
B. Soc. Sci., Dip. Soc. Sci., M. Com.
Economist
fxmatters *
Economics is my passion, particularly the economics of currency markets. I am now applying that enthusiasm towards informing exporters, importers, investors and simply those fascinated with currency of the driving forces in foreign exchange markets.
This applies a deep understanding of the relationship between global events and the local economy. It applies an up-to-the-date insight into the thinking of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.
My knowledge in these areas is grounded in 16 years as economist for ASB, including 5 years as Chief Economist, and in earlier experience in the futures industry.
My formal training was in economics and statistics, culminating in degrees from Waikato, Massey and Auckland universities, including a Master of Commerce Degree from Auckland.
I am a committee member of the NZ Association of Economists and a director and trustee of various entities.
On a personal level, Taupo remains home, where Tracey and my 8 year-old son Fergus are thriving in such an invigorating environment.
I have an extensive record of public speaking and am widely reported in the media, including recently:.
- Radio NZ Oct 17, 2008: Comments on global crisis impact on NZ Audio
- Dominion Jul 8, 2008: Spending curtailed Quotes
- NZ Herald Jun 6, 2006: Productivity key to growth needed to boost economy Article

* I am the Managing Director of ECPC Limited, trading as fxmatters.
