Economic and political tides are shifting. Australia’s new government is tackling low growth and rising fiscal pressure head-on, as New Zealand tries to ignite a sluggish economy. Meanwhile, trade tensions keep challenging global stability but also open new doors for business. This week we’re joined by Professor Richard Holden, Chief Economist at CA ANZ and one of Australasia’s strongest economic voices. A UNSW Professor, Harvard PhD, and Member of the Order of Australia, Richard is known for his bold views on how policy, geopolitics and markets are shaping our region’s future. For investors, business owners and advisers, these shifts matter. What new opportunities will emerge? Which sectors will face headwinds or tailwinds? And how can business seize growth in an uncertain but promising landscape? Join us on the Monday Call to hear Professor Holden’s insights.
This is the Monday Call, brought to you by NZ Funds.
It’s about financial markets - where they are now, and where we think they’re headed.
It’s not just about share market movements or changes in bond prices.
It’s about new technologies and crypto assets.
It’s about decarbonisation, commodities, and how geopolitical events can change the direction of the global economy.
Every week, we talk to the innovators and commentators, the fund managers and headline makers, to gain insights into the new market realities.
It’s a global view of finance from a uniquely New Zealand perspective, keeping Kiwi investors and financial advisers up to date with the latest market news.
