Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 66: Oil, Iran and NZ’s economic outlook
Q: What are some themes you saw coming through in NZ reporting season?
Exporters showed resilience with A2 Milk performing better after leadership changes, while domestic retailers benefited from a summer uptick in spend; however, the caution remained due to a subdued outlook and looming external risks such as energy costs and elections.
Episode 66: Oil, Iran and NZ’s economic outlook
Q: What do we need to see to get some more optimism in your outlook?
The key catalysts would be a sustained upturn in core activity indicators, particularly in housing, migration, and the labour market, along with exporters showing stronger order books and a more convincing rebound from earlier softness.
Episode 63: If the economy's improving, why are consumers still holding back?
Q: What about consumer behavior and spending now that we're coming out of recession?
Consumer behavior is cautious; people are paying down debts despite lower interest rates and are generally more aware of spending due to rising living costs.
Episode 63: If the economy's improving, why are consumers still holding back?
Q: When are we actually going to feel a bit richer, like we're getting somewhere?
The economy is improving, but many do not feel richer because wages aren't rising faster than inflation. It's anticipated that the labor market will improve, interest rates will lower, and wage growth will occur by mid-year, which may help people feel better financially.
Episode 62: The vital signs of healthcare investing - What's hot, what's not
Q: What are some areas of the market that you like that you think are pretty hot?
Areas like medical equipment and technology have good structural growth drivers and defensive characteristics.
