    Andrew Reding: Fletcher Building CEO on the company posting a smaller half-year loss

    18/2/2026 | 2 mins.
    Fletcher Building says it's not out of the woods yet, but their financial situation is improving.
    It recorded an $11 million half-year loss - down from $134 million the year before.
    Earnings are out of the red at $45 million, compared to $-88 million the year before.
    Chief executive Andrew Reding says they'll take a while to get back on track.
    "We're not forecasting great times for our financial year 2026, and indeed think that the calendar year 2027 is when things are lined up and moving properly."

    Anna Breman: new Reserve Bank Governor on the RBNZ keeping the OCR in place

    18/2/2026 | 4 mins.
    The Reserve Bank says inflation's too high, but it's actually worried it could soon end up too low.
    It's kept the OCR unchanged at 2.25 percent.
    New Governor Anna Breman says they're not happy with headline inflation surpassing the one-to-three percent target band last quarter.
    But she says underlying core-inflation is much lower, and wage growth slow.
    She explained that unless the economy rebounds, they think inflation might actually fall below the target.
