Gregory Copley argues Europe suffers from a leadership vacuum caused by post-WWII dependency on the US and bureaucratic corrosion within the EU, with economic recovery requiring slashing regulations as current welfare models become unsustainable amidst geopolitical threats.1900 BRUSSELS PLACE OF MARTYS

The Government will today reveal its back down on controversial Auckland housing intensification plans amid fierce public criticism. New planning rules would currently allow another 2 million homes in Auckland. But last month the Government announced it'll water down the rules with an announcement expected this afternoon. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon told Kerre Woodham a balance needs to be struck. He says Auckland has to grow with affordable housing, but quite rightly some Aucklanders have said they don't want big buildings next to their homes. He's also allaying concerns about a proposal for a $9 toll on Auckland's Harbour Bridge. The Infrastructure Commission recommended tolling the existing bridge, and second new crossing, to reduce construction costs on the Crown. But Luxon told Woodham it's only an idea. He says the Government hasn't decided whether it'll be a new bridge or a tunnel yet, and decisions on how to fund it will come later. He says tolls are the only way to pull forward the development of new roads, faster. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A warning we've been burnt by high hopes for economic recovery. Stats NZ data out today puts unemployment at 5.4 percent in the December quarter. The numbers were less severe than forecasts from Treasury, but still reflect a 10 year unemployment high.

Abstract: As a Doctor of Divinity, I applied a metaphoric lens to analyze the theoretical concept of the Crossroads, uncovering its symbolic significance in both spiritual and moral decision-making. Through this analytical lens, I discovered that the Bible often employs the metaphor of a crossroads to represent pivotal moments of choice in one's spiritual journey. Notable scriptural references, such as Proverbs 3:5–6, which advocates for divine wisdom in decision-making, Jeremiah 6:16–19, which calls for a return to ancient paths, and Matthew 7:13–14, which contrasts the narrow gate leading to life with the wide gate leading to destruction, emphasize the importance of making wise choices and seeking spiritual guidance during critical life transitions (New International Version, 1984).  This conversation explores the intersection of tradition and modernity in the context of an island's socio-cultural evolution, particularly focusing on the Caribbean island of Barbados over the last six decades. Dr. William Anderson Gittens' seminal work, An Island Balancing Heritage and Modernity On The World Stage.©2026 (1966–2026) ISBN 978-976-97826-2-4, January 31, 2026, Pages 89, serves as the foundational text for examining how islands, often metaphorically viewed as "at the crossroads," negotiate the tension between cultural preservation and the forces of globalization. Drawing on a mixed-methods systematic review (MMSR), this analysis highlights how historical events, including independence movements and the rise of tourism, have shaped societal values. It also assesses how local traditions adapt to modern influences and their relevance on the global stage. The essay offers key insights into the ways in which islands balance the preservation of their cultural identity with the demands of modernization.Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D.References2026-02-03 12:53:08An Island Balancing Heritage and Modernity On The World Stage.©2026 (1966–2026) ISBN 978-976-97826-2-4Barbados Today.

The economy is still struggling to gain momentum. Infometrics says a lot of the indicators suggest that economic recovery is looking unconvincing. Chief Forecaster Gareth Kiernan says most have taken the possibility of further Official Cash Rate cuts off the table, and some are forecasting a hike. He told Mike Hosking that things are improving, but the problem for households in particular is that you've been told things are going to get better, but you still have all the cost of living pressures.

In 2025, falling interest rates are supporting economicrecovery, though global growth remains subdued at 2.3%. Central banks are cautiously easing policy, with mortgage rates falling and some regions pausing rate cuts due to persistent inflation. While lower rates are encouraging lending, investment, and activity in sectors like real estate and energy, challenges such as rising public debt, inflationary pressures, and global trade tensions are constraining growth.Financial institutions and investors are focusing on proactive strategies and stable assets, while governments prioritise infrastructure spending. The outlook is cautiously optimistic, with moderate growth expected as economies adapt to persistent debt and trade barriers.

STAGNATION UNDER SURVEILLANCE Colleague Anne Stevenson-Yang, Wild Ride. The severe lockdowns of the COVID-19 pandemic shattered consumer confidence, leaving citizens insecure and unwilling to spend, which stalled economic recovery. Local governments, cut off from credit and burdened by debt, struggle to provide basic services. Faced with economic stagnation, Xi Jinping has rejected market liberalization in favor of increased surveillance and control, prioritizing regime security over resolving the structural debt crisis or restoring the dynamism of previous decades.

Signs of a brighter economy in the year to come. ASB's forecasting annual growth of more than two-and a half percent in 2026. It points to an accelerated housing market, more resilient exports, and a renewed willingness to spend. Chief Economist Nick Tuffley told Heather du Plessis-Allan we can expect inflation to soften further, with the Reserve Bank seeing more stimulus in the pipeline. He says it's in wait and see mode - but seems fairly confident it won't have to cut interest rates any further. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The RBNZ update this week again made the point that yes, the economy's in bounce back mode. We'll grow 2.5% next year, they reckon. But this country needs more than that. It deserves more than that. The problem for us is, and has been for about the past 30 years, productivity. How much we get out for what we put in. We went sideways and it's now falling. As you know, this is a bad thing. It's taking us more people and resources to make less stuff. It puts a ceiling on success. It's a wealth killer. Some reckon it's the canary in the coalmine - the thing we should care about most because we're basically sleepwalking into third world status. Like falling asleep on a plane and waking up in a different country, we'll one day wake up outside the OECD. The solution, in part, is AI. The World Economic Forum had some numbers showing it can boost labour productivity in developed countries by up to 40% over the next 15 years. The richer your country, the more you gain, which stands to reason because higher labour costs incentivise switching to AI to save on wage bills. The economic upswing we're seeing right now is a business cycle uplift: they go up and down. But if you're talking about making this country a serious economic contender on the world stage, as we once were, you need a plan. You need a strategy. You need electricity. You need to get rid of a bunch of regulations. Do we have those things? No. But we need to. I'm hoping next year at the election, more than a tax cut here or a medi-card there, somebody, from some party, I don't care which, paints us a credible path towards prosperity and wealth again. Lord knows we need it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the podcast, we get stuck into the big question everyone's asking - how long can this government keep blaming the last one? David Seymour joins us to talk through the state of the economy, why the recovery feels so slow, and why voters seem to have run out of patience. We dig into whether Labour really left the cupboard bare, or whether National and Co. raised expectations too high and too fast. David fronts up on spending, confidence, and the very real pressure small businesses are still under. He also lays out why he thinks proposals from the Greens could spook investment and slow things down even further.

Clement Manyathela speaks to Lawson Naidoo, former SA Tourism board member, about a legal challenge brought by the recently dissolved board against Minister Patricia de Lille. The ousted members have filed an urgent application at the Pretoria High Court, seeking to overturn the minister’s decision to dissolve the board. They argue that the move undermines accountability and compromises the independence of statutory bodies — raising broader concerns about governance, political interference, and the stability of South Africa’s tourism sector. As tourism plays a key role in the country’s economic recovery, the court battle could have serious implications. Naidoo helps unpack what’s at stake for both the sector and for public institutions. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. August: 6/10 Is it just me or is this year moving at pace? Where did seven months go? The recovery: 4/10 Yes, by August the recovery was supposed to be here. The greens shoots were to have flourished, and stuff was supposed to be better. The payWave charge ban: 6/10 Not perfect, but a practical move that should help. Rob Penney: 7/10 Glad he is back, and why not? One bad year and one great year. You want another dose of great, don't you? Shane Jones: 8/10 Move of the week. Had a couple of glasses of red, turned his phone off, and missed the alerts. Now that is a plan. The Warriors: 7/10 A loss to the Titans and we lose James Fisher-Harris for a couple of weeks as well. If you are a doubter there is a bit of material for you to angst over. But I'm still a believer and this is our year. LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If our economy is in recovery, why is the supermarket checkout still so brutal? Listen in on our chat with Brad Olsen, Principal Economist at Infometrics. Brad breaks down why New Zealanders are still facing uncomfortable inflation, despite a gradual economic comeback—and why attractive interest rates aren’t luring buyers into the housing market. Are investors becoming ‘numb’ to world events after years of outlandish headlines? What’s the latest on those infamous tariffs? Why do the US markets seem "unkillable" despite dire predictions? Plus, Brad says Kiwi investors have started actively scrutinizing boards and executive strategies, and increasingly turning to emerging alternative sectors like AI and crypto.

The Finance Minister says businesses should be more confident about the economic recovery. The Reserve Bank's been weighing up lower-than-expected growth and higher inflation in its decision to keep the Official Cash Rate unchanged at 3.25%. Nicola Willis says businesses have been battening down the hatches. But she told Heather du Plessis-Allan they're maybe more wary than they should be. Willis says all of the fundamentals in the economy are good. She says the Government is business-friendly and is on the side of those wanting to invest, make money, create jobs, and export overseas.

The U.S. economy is sending more mixed signals than a Gen Z relationship status. One minute, the S&P 500 is flirting with all-time highs, the next, the housing market's giving you whiplash with record prices and signs of a downturn. Is it a buyer's market?

Plus, Jeff Bezos has a foam party on a yacht, and somehow that ties into prenups, choice-of-law clauses, and Chris being petty about FaceTime etiquette. Yeah, we went there.

Let's talk about metal shop guys, layoffs, economic recovery, and Trump....

Larry McDonald was a Vice President at Lehman Brothers in 2008, and out of that experience he produced a framework of twenty one indicators of economic health that can also detect early signals of opportunity and danger. His most recent book, How to Listen When Markets Speak, released last year, was early in connecting the dots between past, present and the future that is now. Larry and his research platform, The Bear Traps Report, has a unique and well informed take on what we are seeing right now, with the shock of tariffs, the motivation of the current administration, the resistance of the Fed, and the reaction of markets and businesses. He presents his views on how to amend the 60/40 to ride out the storm, and where the opportunities are.
