The new lending legislation seems like it will be a net positive for the banks. As part of the CCCFA reforms the Financial Markets Authority is set to become a one-stop regulatory shop, looking after licences to ensure consumers are taken care of.  Banking Association CEO Roger Beaumont told Mike Hosking that while there will likely be minimal impact for customers, there will be definite improvements on the bank's side.  He said that one of the key changes is that the “draconian” personal liability legislation for managers and banks will be removed.  Beaumont says the devil is in the detail, of which there hasn't been much yet, but anything that simplifies and clarifies monitoring in the sector is a good thing.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andrew Dickens: First home buyers want choice - and townhouses

From today, strict loan affordability regulations are gone from the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act, henceforth known as the CCCFA. This ends the bizarre inquisitions into your personal life the banks indulged in before denying you a loan. This is good news for first home buyers, obviously, but the people most affected were those trying to get smaller loans. The grilling you got to get that $5,000 you needed to fix a leak hopefully is over. The loan to value ratio rules have also eased, so again, good news for the first home buyers and investors. So how green are these green shoots in the housing market? Well, one report says that - 'home ownership for typical first home buyers has gone from being solidly in unaffordable territory at the start of the year to just marginally unaffordable in June'. Happy days- but still tough. Meanwhile, it turns out that first home buyers are increasingly buying townhouses. Townhouses made up just 6 percent of all new dwelling consents in 2012, now they account for 45 percent. And they are the obvious solution. Most of England is made up of terraced houses and townhouses, and so are most inner suburbs in Australia. They're grander than apartments. You're not sharing corridors and lifts with strangers. They're just like houses - only smaller. But in New Zealand, many don't like the idea. They've persisted with the dream that their immigrant parents had back in the 50s and 60s with stand alone houses and gardens and space and a dog.  But as our cities get larger we end up living in suburbs far far away from the centre, stuck in cars, growing congestion and not living the Kiwi dream. This new generation just wants enough rooms for a family and a tolerable commute. Many of us lucky enough or old enough to have the stand-alones have been standing in the way of intensification in our suburbs. But that has been standing in the way of a generation who want the choice. You may not choose to live in a townhouse, but you aren't 24 with a baby and a limited budget. I understand that an earlier paradise is being corrupted. But I also understand it was always inevitable. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The NZ Property Market Podcast

Despite last week's well-received reactionary pod to the latest CPI inflation data, Nick and Kelvin can't help but dig a bit deeper into the data to get a steer on where things, in particular the OCR, are going. Other topics this week include the CoreLogic monthly chart pack, which focussed on borrowers preference to fix their mortgages short as well as the patchy nature of this recovery. That patchiness, and arguably weakness was backed up by the release of the REINZ index and sales tracking. On the flip side of all the negativity, Kelvin reports that early calcs from the NZAC indicate we may have re-exited the recession, but we all know high net migration (new data on that front too) has a large part to play in that too.Lastly, there's a mention of the CCCFA announcement - not much detail to analyse and even less impact likely, due to high interest rates being the key constraint on funding lines right now. Check out the monthly video and Kelvin's appearance on Tova O'Brien's Stuff podcast.Sign up for news and insights or contact on LinkedIn, Twitter @NickGoodall_CL or @KDavidson_CL and email nick.goodall@corelogic.co.nz or kelvin.davidson@corelogic.co.nz

Andrew Bayly: The select committee banking inquiry, Statistics NZ's challenges & more

The coalition government's select committee banking inquiry could look at how to encourage banks to lend more to "productive" sectors of the economy rather than having such a big focus on "unproductive" housing lending, Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister Andrew Bayly says.The National-NZ First coalition agreement says the government will establish a select committee inquiry into banking competition "with broad and deep criteria to focus on competitiveness, customer services, and profitability."Speaking in interest.co.nz's Of Interest podcast, Bayly said the government will wait to see what the Commerce Commission has to say in its market study into personal banking services before launching the select committee probe. The Commission's draft report is due on March 21."Why have we seen outflows from the productive sector like small businesses, farming and property development which is really important if you want to build houses in New Zealand? We've seen funding going out of that sector, going into what I would term the unproductive sector which is the mortgage market. That's interesting because it obviously has a big impact on businesses and the productive sector," said Bayly."Then there are things around margin [and] capital adequacy ratios that the Reserve Bank manages. That will help banks determine where they put their money, and whether they want to invest in more mortgages, or whether they want to invest in supporting businesses.""I'm approaching it with an open mind. I want to see where they [the Commerce Commission] have got to with retail [banking], but I think inevitably there's some other areas we want to cover," said Bayly.Under bank regulatory capital rules overseen by the Reserve Bank, banks are required to hold less capital against housing lending than against other types of lending such as business/corporate and agriculture lending. The major lending exposure of all NZ's major banks is housing. ANZ NZ, the country's biggest bank, has 72% of its total lending in housing.Bayly is also Minister of Statistics, plus Small Business and Manufacturing Minister.On Statistics NZ, Bayly said it will deliver the 7.5% annual spending reduction the government has asked for. Decisions and preparation are ahead for the 2028 census, he said, noting the 2023 census cost $326 million, "a lot of money.""I'm wanting to make sure that what we do drives economic growth for New Zealand, how we can power up those businesses. That's the big strategic intent," he said."Do you run another huge census every five years? That's the first question. And if you read the Stats NZ] briefing [to the incoming minister] there's a proposal that you don't run those big things again. Because governments all around the world are having the same issue where if you front up to someone now and say 'can you fill out this long form' most of them tell you to naf off," Bayly said.The next census could look to make more use of administrative data like home addresses or tax returns, he said, information and data that lies within various government entities."Obviously they've got to do it within privacy settings. But that is certainly the trend overseas and we will have to look at it.. that you may move towards more localised, small surveys, targeted surveys, and look to buttress that information using existing data sources that are potentially untapped at the moment."In the podcast Bayly also talks about Stats NZ reporting Consumers Price Index (CPI) data monthly, funding to update the CPI that's overdue, the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act, the conduct of financial institutions (CoFI) regime, buy now, pay later, anti-money laundering rules, and his plans to rewrite the Companies Act.*You can find all episodes of the Of Interest podcast here.

The guys kick off this week's discussion with a look at our house price index for January, which showed a smaller rise in values (0.4%) than in both November and December. With mortgage rates still pretty high, a mixture of weaker and stronger months for property values shouldn't be a surprise. So then it's just a choice of which adjective/synonym to use to describe patchiness!Two other notable items last week were Andrew Bayly's announcement that the Government will be looking to loosen the CCCFA rules again over the next few months – adding to some impetus for the property market – but also Paul Conway's (RBNZ Chief Economist) speech which poured cold water on the idea that the official cash rate might be cut soon.Elsewhere, mortgage lending activity continues to rise from a low base, consumer and business confidence are generally trending higher (but not consistently), while dwelling consents are still falling – and HUD was in the news for suggesting that the annual total, currently 37,000, could dip to around 32,000.Coming up this week – big labour market news (unemployment rate likely to be higher but due to more workers not job losses), mortgage lending by the term of the loan chosen, and CoreLogic's Buyer Classification figures for January.All in all, plenty to discuss – oh, and the cricket at Bay Oval too.Sign up for news and insights or contact on LinkedIn, Twitter @NickGoodall_CL or @KDavidson_CL and email nick.goodall@corelogic.co.nz or kelvin.davidson@corelogic.co.nz

The most shameful promise this election came from Labour, who promised in 2017 to increase the breast screening age, and then for six years didn't do anything.  And now they are promising it again, as though you are supposed to believe them and things will be different.  The most ridiculous promise came yesterday, suggesting Labour are now wanting to run a Four Square.  It would be a Government-run supermarket, or at least they want to help you get into one. They want to be an investor in the supermarket business.  When the market study, as done by the Commerce Commission, was first mooted by David Clark, who in his own way has done as much damage to the economy as anyone, he didn't rule out the Government getting involved in the supermarket business.  At the time we laughed and ridiculed it because it was so absurd but we didn't, or at least I didn't, actually think it would lead anywhere.  To be frank, it still won't lead anywhere because the election for Labour is over. But the fact that things have got this mad and this unhinged shows you just how tragic it has all become.  David Clark by the way, in the current Commerce Commission market study into banks, has been mentioned as well. Not only did he cycle his way through the Covid lockdown, not only did he want to run a supermarket, but his CCCFA reform might well be the biggest reason first-home buyers in particular have not been able to get access to money.  His initial reforms were so haphazard that the banks screamed at him to not go as far as he did. When he ignored them, he got dragged back to the table to have another crack, a crack he suggested had sorted matters. Fast forward to the study and the banks are busy telling us it's been a complete disaster, and some banks are skirting the rules simply to be able to get people into homes.  Armed with that intel, why wouldn't a genius like that and his mates want to dabble in retail?  Given Labour's record on delivery, what fool would even consider going into business with them selling apples? Or any other grocery item?  Government-run supermarkets is the stuff of communism and third world backwaters.  And as close as we may have gotten to that status, surely most of us are bright enough to work out they have completely and utterly lost the plot. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the news that the Government are yet again messing with immigration settings and partners are now no longer allowed an open visa unless you are on the famed, but hopelessly inadequate, green list - let me ask you this question. Who is doing the most damage to the economy? Is it Grant Robertson with the printing, spending, cost of living crisis and upcoming recession? Or is it Michael Wood with his refusal to supply the country with an amount of labour to actually meet demand? One sort of leads into another but I'd argue Wood is your number one danger based on the fact that Robertson has a pile of balls in the air. As badly as they have cocked up the economy there are a tremendous number of variables at play Whereas in immigration it's clean and clear cut - you choose what sort of visas you offer and you choose the number of people you allow in on those visas. The only possible issue beyond your control is demand. If no one wants to take you up on your offer, short of going out and spruiking your credentials, you kind of have what you have. That would not appear to be our issue. Our issue appears to be an astonishing refusal to offer a solution, when a solution is so easily and readily available. Is it pig headedness that prevents him moving? He throws $60 million at bus drivers and yet doesn't let more bus drivers in. He argues as to whether we have a nursing shortage, given he thinks nurses are coming into the country in the numbers we need, when they are not. What makes it really maddening is he says he is listening, when he isn't. I still don't see a single sector that says "thank god for that, our labour issue is solved". Even the RSE part, which they have moved on, isn't solved. The processing is an issue, the accreditation is an issue, the fees are an issue, the wage levels are an issue and the criteria is an issue. I have yet to find a single person who argues any aspect of this is working. What I pray for is a David Clark type revelation. Remember Clark and his CCCFA lending debacle? To his credit, he eventually backed down and said 'I got it wrong, we'll do it again'. And he did. It's still not sorted properly but at least he tried. Wood isn't even trying. So surely in the end of year prize for the minister who did his worst and provided the most damage to New Zealand Inc, no one has beaten Michael Phillip Wood of Mt Roskill.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Communism has finally arrived and it's lobbed into Countdown. Or New World or Pak'nSave. Anyway, your can of beans will now be priced by David Clark. I am assuming suppliers will be happy. Under the Government's threat yesterday, and that's all you can call it, supermarkets have to cut a deal with anyone and everyone at commercial rates. What's a commercial rate? Well, once upon a time in a free and open country that was an arrangement between a person selling something to a person buying something. Under the Labour regime, if they don't like that arrangement they will step in and tell you what the commercial rate is. The irony of this is the Commerce Commission, who was told to step into the supermarket market and have a snoop about, didn't recommend this step. Why not? Because they are not communists and saw in their usual way that the market wasn't perfect but it certainly didn't need a regulatory sledge hammer. So the obvious question is - if you were going to regulate or threaten to regulate why ask the Commerce Commission to waste everyone's time? Unless, of course in the usual Machiavellian way in which this Government operates, they were hoping the Commerce Commission would make the recommendation so they could then blame them for the move they wanted to make all along. But, and here is the next irony, will that mean we end up with way cheaper groceries? No. And that's because a wholesale arrangement isn't a retail price. If the wholesale arrangement, whether completed by mutual agreement or David Clark sticking his nose in, encourages new players to the market, it doesn't mean the new player automatically prices their goods a mile below everyone else. If Countdown prices beans at $3.49 and you want to beat that you might price them at $3.39. You might be able to price them at $2.79 but why would you when you don't have to? There is already competition in food and lots of it. The idea this is all a massive rort on the supermarkets part is the commentary of the Government, not the reality of the market. If you think a Government that can't build houses, build light rail, deliver health services or be open, honest and transparent can sort your grocery bill - and this is the same bloke who cocked up the CCCFA and is now sorting your flour and biscuits - then you need to wake up. You're being had.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Communism has finally arrived and it's lobbed into Countdown. Or New World or Pak'nSave. Anyway, your can of beans will now be priced by David Clark. I am assuming suppliers will be happy. Under the Government's threat yesterday, and that's all you can call it, supermarkets have to cut a deal with anyone and everyone at commercial rates. What's a commercial rate? Well, once upon a time in a free and open country that was an arrangement between a person selling something to a person buying something. Under the Labour regime, if they don't like that arrangement they will step in and tell you what the commercial rate is. The irony of this is the Commerce Commission, who was told to step into the supermarket market and have a snoop about, didn't recommend this step. Why not? Because they are not communists and saw in their usual way that the market wasn't perfect but it certainly didn't need a regulatory sledge hammer. So the obvious question is - if you were going to regulate or threaten to regulate why ask the Commerce Commission to waste everyone's time? Unless, of course in the usual Machiavellian way in which this Government operates, they were hoping the Commerce Commission would make the recommendation so they could then blame them for the move they wanted to make all along. But, and here is the next irony, will that mean we end up with way cheaper groceries? No. And that's because a wholesale arrangement isn't a retail price. If the wholesale arrangement, whether completed by mutual agreement or David Clark sticking his nose in, encourages new players to the market, it doesn't mean the new player automatically prices their goods a mile below everyone else. If Countdown prices beans at $3.49 and you want to beat that you might price them at $3.39. You might be able to price them at $2.79 but why would you when you don't have to? There is already competition in food and lots of it. The idea this is all a massive rort on the supermarkets part is the commentary of the Government, not the reality of the market. If you think a Government that can't build houses, build light rail, deliver health services or be open, honest and transparent can sort your grocery bill - and this is the same bloke who cocked up the CCCFA and is now sorting your flour and biscuits - then you need to wake up. You're being had.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In amongst some wild weather over the weekend, credit conditions and interest rates are back as a key discussion point again this week, given the soon-to-begin relaxation of the CCCFA rules, but on the other hand the start of Quantitative Tightening from the Reserve Bank. Even though the RBNZ envisages QT being a smooth/managed process, Nick and Kelvin discuss how there's surely some kind of risk that it adds to upwards pressure on mortgage rates.Buyer Classification for May is also covered off, and the theme of ‘debt vs equity' is still evident, with cash multiple property owners having a higher market share in recent months – albeit due to their number of purchases falling less than other groups, rather than an outright increase in activity.As per usual the guys look ahead to upcoming data this week – including the Q1 GDP data – but also take on a broader discussion of the investment landscape at present (Kelvin's write up). With capital gains fading, yields low, and mortgage rates higher, it's possible that would-be new investors are looking very hard at their sums. Of course, for existing investors with much higher effective yields, the game is a bit different – and some (all?) will want to avoid Brightline too!Kelvin's 5 things to know article is live, as is his analysis of the history of the top end of the market. Check out all our regular CoreLogic research insights at https://www.corelogic.co.nz/research-news and get in touch on LinkedIn, twitter @NickGoodall_CL or @KDavidson_CL or send us an email on nick.goodall@corelogic.co.nz or kelvin.davidson@corelogic.co.nz

Each week BusinessDesk and the NZ Herald's Cooking the Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it's how to beat the banks at their own game. Hosted by Frances Cook. We're back! Welcome to an all new season of the podcast. I may have left to have a baby, but I couldn't stay away for too long, and boy some interesting stuff happened while I was gone. Not least of which are the changes to mortgage rules. You may have heard rumours that you can now be turned down for a mortgage simply for buying Uber Eats, or too many takeaway coffees, even if you can afford them. The rumours are true. Well, kind of. It's all because of a change to lending rules, called the triple CCCFA, or the Credit Contract and Consumer Finance Act if we're being formal. This law was brought in to stamp out loan sharks, and predatory debt schemes like what's used by clothing trucks that patrol poorer neighbourhoods. Now that's a good thing, but the unintended consequences, well, they haven't been so good. The changes ended up clobbering the mortgage sector, making it even more difficult for people trying to buy a house. Because that wasn't bad enough already. The backlash was swift, the government backpedalled, and now the whole thing looks set to change again. Meanwhile, as all of this is happening, interest rates are going up and making mortgages more expensive. It's enough to make your head spin, and to make the whole enterprise of buying a house even more intimidating. So let's cut it back down to size. What's going on with the CCCFA, how can you turn these interest rates to your advantage, and how do you play against the banks, and win? For the latest podcast I talked to mortgage broker Bruce Patten from Loan Market. If you have a question about this podcast, or question you'd like answered in the next one, come and talk to me about it.

New Lending Rules Changed Again?![CCCFA In Trouble] / 263

Wealth and Wellbeing

Anyone that's a first-home buyer, or looking to get another mortgage for their rental property, this is a video you need to see. The new lending law, that came into effect in December, has been updated. It was the CCCFA and there was a big drop in loan applications. Good people that could actually afford the loan, weren't getting the opportunity to get a mortgage because of the new changes. The idea was that they wanted to protect vulnerable people from getting into debt that they can't afford. There are three keys things to look at: 1. What have they changed? 2. Why are they changing the CCCFA? 3. What do the CCCFA changes mean for you? So a really simple one that they've changed is they are no longer recognizing savings and investments as outgoings, which makes sense. You know, like if you take on a mortgage and you're saving and you have investments, it makes sense that you might be able to use that for your mortgage? So why are you calculating that as an outgoing? The other thing is they were looking at the last three to six months of your expenditure and assessing: how much you're spending on Uber Eats? How long are you going on Netflix? Why are you wasting money on these trivial things?Which would impact your ability to get a loan. Now they're putting less ownership on it. They're focusing on future spending because they recognize that people change their habits to meet the requirements of their debt. So essentially, less focus on how you're spending your money as opposed to how you will spend your money and not going through your transactions with a fine-tooth comb like they were before. And the final piece is they're going to have clearly defined examples so it's easier for lenders to recognize what they should do in certain instances. And that steps into the why. Why are they changing the CCCFA? Essentially, there's a huge risk for banks and lenders in terms of a fine. So because they didn't want to pay this massive fine they overdid it and are now trying to reign it back in. So that's the main reason why they're trying to give clearly defined examples so this doesn't happen. The other reason is that there was a drop in loan applications and people that should be able to get loans weren't able to. That wasn't their intention. So they have made adjustments accordingly. What do the CCCFA changes mean for you? It makes it easier to get in a position where you can get a loan but things are still tightening up. It's still harder to get as large a loan, as you did before, the big inflationary concerns and all those people rushing out to buy property. But, what it means for you, is that you should still have the habits that they set the criteria for initially. Still spend your money as though you have the mortgage now. Worst case scenario, you have a higher deposit. Sure, the changes are good. Sure, it's none of their business to go through three to six months of statements to assess your ability to fund the loan but you can still have the habits of someone that's going to pay down their debt because the sooner you pay down that debt, the sooner you can become financially free and can start enjoying life the way that you want to.

 In this podcast Mortgage Lab CEO Rupert Gough gives you an overview of the act, its impacts, and what you now need to do differently in order to get a mortgage."The act, called CCCFA for short, came into force on the 1st December 2021. It was largely meant to protect consumers from high-interest loan sharks. But unintended effects of the act have flowed into mainstream mortgage applications, for home-buyers, upgraders and investors alike.So, what is the CCCFA? The act effectively increases the liability for the directors and senior managers of lending companies. They are now personally liable if borrowing is shown to be irresponsible or deficiencies in the lending process are found. A fine of up to $200,000 for each breach is possible. As a result, banks and other lenders have tightened their application process. They are combing through every small detail to make sure their process is correct..."You can watch a video on the same subject here: https://youtu.be/jtjbghnVchU If you are unsure where to start or have any questions, don't hesitate to contact the team at mortgagelab.co.nz/contact-us, we're here to help.You can watch more of these articles by subscribing to our YouTube channel.You can follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube and LinkedIn.

Everyone is already talking about it, so what exactly is a 'buyers market'? We haven't had one in a while.. In its simplest terms, a buyer's market is when the conditions of the market suit the buyer's rather than the seller's of properties. These conditions can be things like.. An oversupply of property listings for the number of buyers looking. eg, more houses on the market mean more choice for the buyer and less negotiation power for the sellers. Policy changes eg, the new CCCFA policy has scared a lot of buyers away so there are fewer buyers to compete with and fewer buyers looking at the listed properties resulting in sellers needing to lower their expectations of price (this is long overdue) Interest Rates, eg now that interest rates are going up there are fewer people with the FOMO mindset and more with the holy sh*t can we even afford a mortgage mindset. This means, like the point above, fewer buyers and less competition for the same number of properties. All of these things compile to give some very good buying opportunities. This does not mean that house prices will drop (I don't see that happening). More so it means that there will be less pressure to get an offer in because fewer houses will go to multi offers. There will be less chance of you overpaying for an average property (hopefully the real estate agents relay honest price expectations to their clients). You might even be able to bag a bargain on those fringe properties like the ones in slightly less desirable areas, or those that have building/CCC issues or are just plain ugly. But, don't get me wrong, the good properties will still sell so if you want those ones you'll still need to be a bit aggressive in your search. The first step is to make sure you are ready to buy; that comes in the form of a pre-approval so you can pull the trigger on a purchase when that right-priced almost perfect property comes along.

You asked for it, so we created it. With the new CCCFA policy rules, we are seeing a whole new wave of media fearmongering headlines. No, you will not get a mortgage just because you have KFC- there is much more to it. But you will be declined if your bank statements show that you are living outside your means, or if there are some red flags on them. So how can you make sure your bank statements are presented to help your application? What things are considered "red flags"? Should you have separate accounts for different spending expenses? Should you take cash out to spend on things? Lots of questions, and this week I am joined by our operations manager and admin extraordinaire Michelle who has looked at more bank statements than an IRD auditor.

2022! The best shot you have of buying a house...seriously! But then again, last year was even better... And before that the previous year too... The best time to buy in NZ was last year the next best time is now (ancient Chinese proverb modified for the NZ property market) Here is the thing, there are always new rules and other reasons why some people find a reason to "wait and see". Unfortunately, you could be waiting a while. The latest change that has been splashed across the headlines is the new CCCFA rules, for you, that means banks are looking closer at your spending. You've seen the headlines of mortgages being declined because of a trip to Kmart or overspending at Christmas - but those headlines aren't telling the full story. That just doesn't happen. Mortgages are based on income vs expenses at a scaled rate. If you spend "too much" this might just lower your pre-approval amount, if it was going to be a decline then this would be because of something a lot more serious than one trip to the shops. In this week's podcast, we dive deeper into the new rules and why they aren't that scary, how you can still get a mortgage, and other opportunities in the market right now. Top takeaway - get a mortgage broker to look at your spending before sending it to the bank so that they can prepare you for what the bank is looking for. Need help? Email aaron@tanta.co.nz

Food prices rise to extreme levels

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news that rising inflation is due to more than just oil prices - food prices are now reaching extreme levels.But first, US jobless claims came in low again reporting only +212,000 new claimants with the prior week's low level revised lower. Now only 1.56 mln people are on these benefits. (This is the actual number; most reports focus on the seasonally adjusted level which is at 1.96 mln, so it may take a while for that statistical twist to work through.)Supporting these very low rates are the data for layoffs which came in at only 14,875 in November, the lowest monthly total since May 1993.All eyes are now on tomorrow's non-farm payrolls report where a rise of +550,000 is expected in November. There will be interest too in the tracking of overall hours being worked.Meanwhile, the threat of another Federal government shutdown seems to have eased with a bipartisan deal agreed, one that still needs to pass votes in both Congressional bodies. It should pass but the Trump desire to cause havoc plays hard in these chambers still.Japanese consumer confidence remained unchanged but still quite depressed in November. It is showing no sign of returning to pre-recession levels.Global food prices pushed up to a new recent high in November and now only marginally lower than the record high in February 2011. But in inflation-adjusted terms, these prices are now at their highest levels in 45 years. Meat and dairy prices are not driving the overall index, but they are rising and near their highs as well. It is hard to see conditions coming where food prices will fall back, so this pressure could be long term. Inflation in the OECD area surged to +5.2% in October, the highest rate since 1997.European producer prices shot up more than expected in October, and the expectation was for a high rate. Only they got more.But that hasn't inhibited international trade in goods - yet. Air cargo activity in October shot up +10.4% above the October 2019 level, up +8.6% in Europe, up +18.8% in North America, and up +7.9% in the Asia/Pacific region.In Australia, demand for home loans fell in October, down by -2.5% from September. For owner occupiers, the drop was -4.1%. The year-on-year data looks spectacular but it is pandemic-affected and it is the monthly retreat that is catching eyes. Not only is housing churn lower, regulatory pressures are building and there is a sense that a credit crunch is coming just as the market itself is tailing off after a long period of unbridled enthusiasm in Australia. With the many regulatory levers being pulled in New Zealand, the latest being the rolling out of the new CCCFA requirements which come on top of a string of others, a credit crunch is probably more likely to bite, and hard, in New Zealand.The UST 10yr yield opens today at 1.46% and +2 bps higher from this time yesterday. The price of gold will start today at US$1767/oz and down by -US$18 or -1.0% from this time yesterday.And oil prices are languishing, just marginally softer at US$66.50/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is now just over US$69.50/bbl. But this overlooks a sudden temporary dive to just over US$62/bbl four hours ago.The Kiwi dollar opens today softer at 68.2 USc. Against the Australian dollar we are firmer at 96.1 AUc. Against the euro we are also softer at 60.2 euro cents. That means our TWI-5 starts today at 72.9 and at a level it has changed from very little all week.The bitcoin price has fallen to US$56,199 which is -4.3% below the level at this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been moderate at just over +/- 2.6%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.And get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.

November has been a big month for changes in the mortgage world. We've had the fastest increase in interest rates ever which has resulted in higher test interest rates at the banks. We've also had CCCFA come into play resulting in banks being more strict with how they look at expenses. We've also had more Debt To Income ratios being used and some banks shutting shop to ALL buyers with less than 20% deposits.

The increasing automation and technical capability of the finance industry has not only provided efficiencies in enabling a multibillion dollar economy to grow, it has also evolved unintended consequences resulting in opportunities for misjudgement, misconduct and misuse. Government regulatory oversight is designed to contain and manage this through reducing the risk of company failure and potential failures of the global monetary system, as well as to protect customers and their money from fraud or unethical conduct.Having regulation to protect everyone from ‘bad' or unconsciously unethical behaviour has to be a good thing, however the realities of implementing regulation is complex, expensive to retrofit, and rarely done ‘by design' in New Zealand.  It's rapidly changing and difficult to get right in evolving business environments, and when it goes wrong it is very, very expensive. With the pace of change Technology has to be the answer for this to be more effective in order that companies of all sizes and budgets can meet the rapid increase in regulation with efficient automated solutions that enable us to ethically protect the industry, ourselves, staff and customers.About Janet Janet has over 20 years of experience managing diverse technology teams and delivering change in the Financial sector, Technology and Regulatory. Originally from the UK, Janet moved to Singapore with  Barclays Capital in 2006 managing teams and expanding the Global Software Development Centre to then 5 years later, evolve and transition it further to lower cost global locations.   Since moving to New Zealand in 2013 Janet has been focussed on Regulatory change projects and becoming passionate about compliance by design, working on some of the key legislative changes for New Zealand,  FMCA, CLR, CCCFA, AML, GDPR and Conduct, and is increasingly frustrated with the acceptance of largely manual approaches and the lack of opportunity to digitize compliance and keep up with Financial technology advances.To address her frustration Janet has engaged with the Tech Futures Lab here in Auckland, juggling work by embarking on a  part-time Master of Technological Futures  journey to  see what a different form of Regulatory Change might look like for the future, be that near or distant.Janet is involved in (and managed) Women in IT, Diversity groups, Graduate programmes including Shadowtech, as well as being a mentor and forming communities of practice for project management and Agile ways of working.
