Ms Watson oversees the running of ANZ in New Zealand and has responsibility for ANZ in the Pacific.<\/p>\n<p>She will spend two days in Apia, Samoa\u2019s capital, visiting local businesses, meeting with Government officials, and will give an address at a Women in Leadership event. Later in the week she will head to Fiji.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew Zealand shares a close relationship with Samoa, and having responsibility for ANZ\u2019s Pacific business is something I value deeply,\u201d Ms. Watson says.\u201cANZ plays a strong part in supporting the Samoan economy. We have a great team here and\u00a0I\u2019m looking forward to being on the ground, meeting customers and local businesses, and getting a better understanding of how we can continue to provide the support needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ANZ Samoa Country Head Sucharu Tandon says the visit demonstrates the importance of Samoa to ANZ.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Pacific is a key part of ANZ\u2019s international network and Samoa is one of our core Pacific markets \u2013 we have been operating here for over 30 years. Mr Tandon says it\u2019s an exciting time for the island nation with recent ANZ reports showing a strong economic outlook, and other executive visits and events coming up.<\/p>\n<p>Recent ANZ reports show inflation is down and reserves are strong, and interest rates are moving into more neutral territory. GDP grew by 10.2% in 2023 and is forecast to grow a further 7.4% in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is pleasing to see these positive economic reports, with thanks also to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) scheduled in October which will be one of the biggest events hosted in Samoa in 60 years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apia, 05 September 2024 &#8211; ANZ New Zealand CEO Antonia Watson will visit Samoa next week as part of a week-long visit to the Pacific.
