Gain valuable insights into the future of the residential building industry at our mid-year Industry Outlook Breakfast. HIA Economist Maurice Tapang will deliver an in-depth economic update, sharing the latest data, forecasts, and expert commentary tailored to our region. Maurice will explore key trends across the regional, state, and national levels—highlighting both the challenges and opportunities that will shape the industry in 2025. This is a must-attend event for industry professionals looking to stay informed and ahead of the curve.

Speaker

Maurice Tapang

HIA Economist

Maurice graduated with a Bachelor of Economics from the University of Sydney in 2021, majoring in Financial Economics and Econometrics. Here he led two collaborative projects:

  • analysis of the effects of COVID on the stock prices of commercial property companies;
  • industry collaboration with ANZ Banking which involved recommendations to improve their data analytics for the approval of home loans in disadvantaged postcodes.

He joined the HIA in 2023, and his responsibilities involve contributing to HIA’s suite of publications and articles. Maurice comes from a construction background, with his family involved in the quarrying, hauling, earthmoving, and waste business in the Philippines.
