Tourism and the creative sector are leading the city's economic rise.

The latest report from Business and Economic Research Limited shows Dunedin's economy has grown 2.2%.

That's in the 12 months to March last year.

Over the last decade, there's only been a minimal upswing in the city's gross domestic product.

Tourism is up almost 10%, and the creative sector by almost as much.

Enterprise Dunedin director John Christie says the latest figures show the city's starting to emulate national growth patterns.
