🔔 RBNZ OCR Decision 2pm Wednesday: What Can We Expect?🔔

Financial Adviser, Director from adviceHQ

Markets have spoken! The 2yr swap rate (bank wholesale funding rate) has dropped to Sep 2022 levels (4.19%), down 1.6% from the peak on 4 Oct 2023 (5.79%).

The latest inflation and unemployment statistics have left the door wide open for OCR cut/s. The only unknown variable is the RBNZ itself, the organization tasked with "protecting and promoting the stability of New Zealand’s financial system."

At adviceHQ, we assist clients in both increasing and decreasing rate environments. Contact us for independent financial advice on your mortgage refix, restructure, or refinance.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
