flag New Zealand is creating integrated models to balance health and economic needs during future pandemics.

flag New Zealand is developing integrated epi-econ models to better balance public health and economic stability during future pandemics. flag These models combine disease spread projections with economic impacts like employment, inflation, and growth, accounting for feedback loops and evolving conditions. flag Drawing on lessons from COVID-19 and guidance from the UK and Royal Commission, officials aim to make these tools transparent, accessible across government, and ready for rapid deployment. flag While no model can predict all outcomes, they offer crucial insights for evidence-based decision-making.
