LSE Public Lecture
This lecture will cover New Zealand's relationship with the UK and other partners, as well as his reflections on the global economy and New Zealand's prospects.
John Key has been Prime Minister of New Zealand since November 2008. He was born in Auckland but moved to Christchurch when a child. He was educated at Burnside High School and then gained a B.Comm from the University of Canterbury. John launched his investment banking career in New Zealand in the mid 80s. After 10 years in the New Zealand market he headed offshore, working in Singapore, London and Sydney for US investment banking giant Merrill Lynch. During that time he was in charge of a number of business units including global foreign exchange and European bond and derivative trading. In 1999 John was invited to join the Foreign Exchange Committee of the Federal Reserve Bank of NY and on two occasions undertook management studies at Harvard University in Boston.
In 2001, he headed back to New Zealand to fulfill a long held ambition to stand for Parliament for the National Party. He rose through the party ranks, becoming deputy finance spokesman and then finance spokesman. After the 2005 election he continued to be the Party's finance spokesman before being elected leader of the National Party on 27 November 2006.
