Our largest sector is continuing to do it tough. Latest data from BNZ and Business NZ shows our services sector —which makes up almost three quarters of the economy— has contracted for the 18th consecutive month. Our manufacturing sector is also back in contraction after a period of growth. Business NZ Chief Executive Katherine Rich told Mike Hosking we're still seeing a tale of two economies. She says the primary sector is doing quite well, but the services sector is continuing to face challenges. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's a belief new tax rules will attract top tech talent to the country. The Government's changing the rules so migrants will only pay tax on income they actually receive. Currently new arrivals are taxed on estimated overseas income, even if that ends up being wrong. Business NZ immigration specialist Rachel Simpson told Ryan Bridge this law would ensure people coming here for a short period wouldn't get double taxed. She says it would make rules around people working as social media influencers clear. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The speed of decline of our gas supply could be hampering the transition to alternative energy. A Business NZ survey of commercial and industrial users shows average price rises have topped 100% in the past five years. Nearly half made various cuts to their business. Energy innovation centre Ara Ake's Jonathan Young told Kerre Woodham supply's fallen a lot quicker than anyone expected. He says it's hurting as companies try to transition. Young says it's like a relay runner falling short ahead of the baton exchange, and it's leading to de-industrialisation. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's a view businesses have been taken by surprise by surging gas prices. Energy management company Optima and Business NZ's joint survey reveals gas prices have risen by more than 100% on average in the past five years. Nearly half report it's led to them reducing operations, increased prices, or cutting staff. Business NZ Energy Council Executive Director Tina Schirr told Mike Hosking they didn't know how quickly supply would dwindle. She says they knew there'd be moderate reduction over the next few years, but didn't think it'd be this steep over the last two years.

Major gas users are looking to the Government for help, with many struggling with high prices. A survey by energy management company Optima and Business NZ reveals gas prices have risen by more than 100% on average in the past five years. Nearly half of industrial and commercial users have had to make cuts as a result. Resources Minister Shane Jones is seeking advice whether rationing gas supplies is possible. Major Gas Users Group spokesperson Len Houwers told Andrew Dickens Jones has proposed a triage-like system. He says Jones is exploring reserving gas for industrial users instead of electricity companies. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Business NZ is welcoming the introduction of two new seasonal visa pathways saying they will support the agriculture and tourism sectors. 

Many Kiwis are studying or training in skills that aren't needed in the job market. That's the warning from Business NZ as the Government reviews New Zealand's vocational education system. The lobby groups say graduates are being held back from gaining employment because they've trained in the wrong area. They're calling for an industry-led vocational system, with more focus on work-based training and relevant, up-to-date skills. Business NZ Education Specialist Rachel Simpson told Heather du Plessis-Allan that many of the current qualifications and programmes haven't been changed in years.

New Zealand isn't likely to get a better deal than we're currently getting, when it comes to trade with the US. Almost all goods to the US now face a 10% base tariff rate. Donald Trump's announced a 25% tariff rate for Japan and South Korea from the start of next month and may also raise tariffs on other trading partners. Business NZ Advocacy Manager Catherine Beard told Heather du Plessis-Allan New Zealand probably can't negotiate a tariff rate below the 10% rate we're facing. She says if that's the best rate going, it's probably not worth New Zealand trying to get into a "David and Goliath" battle with the US.

It's being suggested small businesses are finding it tougher to get loans than big businesses, despite being a safer option. The latest data shows the compound annual growth rate of bank lending has slowed from 6% to 1.5% since 2013. Small Business NZ Founder Phil Wicks told Mike Hosking most banks are making business hard. He says lending to someone with skin in the game should be more attractive to banks. Wicks told Hosking many banks assess loan risks like it was centuries ago. He says there are small businesses with strong work ethics, no debt, and personal guarantees, still being declined LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The government is shifting WorkSafe's priorities from enforcement, to giving more advice. Business New Zealand chief executive Katherine Rich spoke to Corin Dann.

A promise today's budget will deliver real growth for the economy. Finance Minister Nicola Willis is hours away from unveiling her 'No BS Budget', claiming there'll be no frills or excess. The Government's been slowly teasing figures, concentrating on balancing the books through cuts and reprioritisation in spending. Business NZ CEO Katherine Rich told Mike Hosking the government knows its role in business recovery. She says they're the first government in a long time that's methodically looked through what can be done to make things easier. It's also been teasing changes to the KiwiSaver scheme, with more to be revealed. It's expected to increase KiwiSaver's default contribution rate from the current 3% as well as means-testing its own annual contribution, up to $521 dollars. Rich told Hosking they'll be keeping a close eye on things. She says it depends on how it's phased in over time, so businesses can factor it into wage negotiations and salaries.

The government is making it easier for wealthy foreign investors to get residency in New Zealand. Business New Zealand chief executive Katherine Rich spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

New Zealand remains in the dark about Donald Trump's tariff plan, as new data shows the US has overtaken Australia as our second largest destination for exported goods. Business NZ Advocacy Director Catherine Beard told Andrew Dickens blanket tariffs wouldn't have the same impact as targeted tariffs. She says it would mean the cost will be passed on to the US consumer rather than having to be absorbed by exporters, and we would still be competitive against other markets.

Small businesses want the Government to rethink regulations it describes as a burden. A new report from Business NZ claims small Kiwi businesses are bogged down by compliance hurdles and complicated regulations, which it says cost time and money. Business NZ CEO Katherine Rich told Mike Hosking politicians need to ease the burden, and not politicise it.

Rich says they've provided a practical shopping list of possible regulation changes that would help businesses almost immediately. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Acceptance that reviewing the way fees are charged for PayWave and online card transactions in New Zealand is a positive for all. The Commerce Commission is consulting on regulation it says could save Kiwis $250 million. People spend $1 billion each year on fees in-store and online. Small Business New Zealand founder and BSP advisory group director Phil Wicks is questioning whether some retailers are taking advantage. “There is quite a variation in fees. I mean at the end of the day, the retailers shouldn't really be making profits from their EFTPOS. They should be making their profits from the goods and services that they sell.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Service sector activity has plummeted to its lowest level outside the Covid lockdowns.  The BNZ-Business New Zealand Performance of Services Index (PSI) fell 3.6 points in May to 43.0.  Business NZ Chief Executive Kirk Hope told Heather du Plessis-Allan “It's consistent with other data – like profit margins being below pre-Covid rates.”  Hope said “Corporate insolvencies are around the same level as during the GFC – it's a pretty tough time.”  LISTEN ABOVE. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Business NZ is welcoming a rise in spending on infrastructure, saying it has the potential to improve economic growth. Business NZ chief executive Kirk Hope spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Tariffs across the ditch are getting scrapped to lower living costs and some are asking if New Zealand should follow suit.  Australia will remove import taxes on a wide range of goods from July to bring cost-of-living relief.  It will streamline $9 nine billion worth of annual trade and save businesses over $30 million yearly.  Business NZ's Catherine Beard told Mike Hosking that we got rid of most tariffs in the 1980s, there's just a few left.  She says it's a legacy of the past —as most of them left are between 5-10%— and aren't doing much.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand's latest unemployment figure didn't quite land where many expected.  Stats NZ figures show it's risen to 4% in the three months to December.  Business NZ Advocacy Director, Catherine Beard told Mike Hosking that the numbers feel wonky.  She says they expected the figure to be higher after the Employment and Manufacturers Association highlighted the rise in enquiries about restructures and redundancies.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The former boss of Business NZ says it's past time for a proper government strategy regarding immigration. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says current immigration settings are unsustainable, and position echoed by the Labour Party. New Zealand had a net gain of nearly 120,000 migrants over the year to September, putting serious pressure on housing and infrastructure. Iron Duke Partners managing director Phil O'Reilly says immigration settings are now too loose, and he's encouraged by the Prime Minister's comments that an immigration strategy was needed. O'Reilly spoke to Corin Dann.

The Workplace Relations Minister says she's disappointed unions are mis-characterising plans on Fair Pay Agreements. Elements of the Government's moves to repeal the policy were leaked to media last night. CTU President Richard Wagstaff subsequently told press he was upset unions had not been consulted about the plans. But Brooke Van Velden says his comments are not true. "Look, I was sworn into Government on Monday, and on Wednesday I sat down with both Business NZ and the Council of Trade Unions." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Business leaders want to see quick changes from the new National-led government, scrapping fair pay agreements and reintroducing 90-day trials. Unions say that's nothing but bad news for workers. Business NZ chief executive Kirk Hope, and Council of Trade Unions president Richard Wagstaff spoke to Corin Dann.

Sick leave is becoming an increasing issue for employers.  Business Desk reports bosses are noticing that people are not shy about using up all their sick leave entitlements.  Data shows that on average people take 5.5 sick days a year, a big jump from where it was at 4.5 pre-pandemic.  Business NZ's Director of Advocacy Catherine Beard told Mike Hosking that everyone's position on illnesses has changed.  She puts it down to a shift in attitudes towards sickness following the pandemic, as well as a more progressive view of mental health.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

National could have its work cut out for itself following its latest trade promises.  The party is vowing to double the value of exports in the next decade, pursue Free Trade Agreements, increase trade missions, and make India a focus.  Business NZ Advocacy Director Catherine Beard told Mike Hosking that it's a heroic goal.   She says it would be great to get the gulf, the UAE, and particularly India under our belt, but they're not easy.   Beard says geopolitics, particularly what is being seen in the Middle East, makes these areas challenging.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

National outplays Labour according to this year's rankings from business leaders.  More than 100 CEOs and business leaders have ranked MPs in the Herald's Mood of the Boardroom survey.  Luxon comes out on top with 3.24 out of five, compared to Chris Hipkins' 2.95.  Business NZ Chief Executive Kirk Hope told Mike Hosking that National still has to do more, with one boss saying he's too corporate and has no real connection.  He says Nicola Willis is favoured from a finance perspective, and Luxon still has a bit of work to do with the business community.    LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The primary industry has outperformed expectations as annual exports reach a new record high of more than 56-billion-dollars. The December forecast expected 55-billion in exports, but led by a growth in dairy, seafood and processed food exports, the result is 1-point-2-billion-dollars higher than thought. The government thinks primary industry exports could rise to 62-billion-dollars by 2027, and are praising new Free Trade Agreements as opening the door for more sales.

Cabinet is seeking advice on whether a Covid "test to work" scheme would work. Business NZ CEO Kirk Hope says that could allow some workers back sooner than seven days. "Of course, you know your employer's going to say- only come in if you're capable of working, we don't want you here if you're still, in fact feeling quite sick."

The Prime Minister says there are numerous moving parts to consider when Cabinet debates later today whether to remove all remaining Covid-19 restrictions. Most of the outstanding rules were scrapped in September last year, but a mandatory seven-day isolation period remains for those who test positive. Chris Hipkins told Morning Report the Government needs to consider not only the health implications but also how any decision affects schools, businesses and communities. Epidemiologist Michael Baker says the restrictions should remain in place, while Business NZ is urging the government to follow other countries and dump them.

There are concerns the hike to minimum wage could be devastating for businesses. The Government has announced the minimum wage will rise by $1.50 to $22.70 from April. Business New Zealand CEO Kirk Hope told Mike Hosking the ability for businesses to pass this cost on is very low. He says if a business has no capital left effectively to pay this, and can't increase prices because then they'll face a decrease in demand, they're in a difficult position.

Businesses are hoping that the new Prime Minister will change the Government's agenda. Former Business NZ Chief Executive Phil O'Reilly told Tim Dower that he wants to see the new PM focus on the policy changes businesses have been asking for. On the other hand, the Council of Trade Unions is hoping for a smooth transition of power.

A business leader doubts the Royal Commission of Inquiry into our Covid response has the right scope. It kicks off February and will look at vaccine mandates, border closures, quarantine and community care. A report is due mid-2024. Australian-based epidemiologist Tony Blakely will chair it, alongside former National party minister Hekia Parata and former Treasury secretary John Whitehead. Business NZ Chief Executive Kirk Hope told Mike Hosking no one from business was talked to about the scope.

Legislation setting up a legal framework for collective bargaining across industries is set to become law. The Fair Pay Agreements Bill has passed its third reading in Parliament, with the support of Labour, the Greens and Te Pāti Māori.  The bill provides a framework for collective bargaining across occupations - like cleaners, supermarket workers and security guards - rather than just between unions and employers. National and Act oppose the measures, which they say will hurt small businesses, and vow to repeal the law if elected next year. Business NZ chief executive Kirk Hope and New Zealand Council of Trade Unions president Richard Wagstaff spoke to Corin Dann.  

The chief executive of Business New Zealand doesn't support a public holiday to mourn the Queen. Both the UK and Australia will hold public holidays next week, and Cabinet is considering the point today. Kirk Hope told Morning Report a holiday would impose extra costs on businesses already struggling. "Even if it's only a one off, it's going to impose more costs on businesses at a time when they've sustained some some pretty heavy costs and losses as a result of the pandemic." One public holiday has already been added to New Zealand's calendar this year, with Matariki celebrated in June.
