Exploring New Zealand's economy: Downturns, housing challenges, and the impact of population growth

Have you ever wondered how economic downturns and booming housing markets coexist? In this episode I'm joined by leading independent economist Tony Alexander to take a detailed look at New Zealand's economic landscape, the implications of the downturn, and the current state of the housing market.  We also discuss the struggles families face during a recession, their battle with increasing mortgages, and the psychological effects influencing buyer decisions in the housing market.  To round off, we turn the spotlight onto banking profits and their potential impact on our economy. And Tony breaks down our reliance on China for exports, as we discuss the potential rewards and risks of such ties.  Listen, learn, and let's engage in these crucial discussions.   Chapters: 4:05 - Slam Dunc 7:42 - Tony Alexander 38:34 - Letters To The Editor Learn more about your ad choices.
