Overall employment's held steady - but the hours people work have notably contracted. In figures out today, the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 5.1 percent in the three months ending March. But total hours worked are down three percent over the year. Kiwibank chief economist Jarrod Kerr says numbers of part time workers are rising, with those working full-time falling. "Businesses are clearly cutting hours to reduce costs and fight their way through what's quite an awkward period, and that's weighing on households."

Kiwibank is predicting unemployment will rise to its highest level in almost a decade when the latest labour market data is released. Kiwibank chief economist Jarrod Kerr spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Zuru Toys co-founder Nick Mowbray speaks on the impacts of United States tariffs on China. He said businesses were “in a holding pattern” as they grappled with the uncertainty of changeable policy. US President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs on April 2. Kiwi billionaire Nick Mowbray says “it's hard to say we're not worried” about US President Donald Trump's tariffs and his administration's “chaotic” policy decisions. “We'll ship about $2 billion worth of goods to the US this year. So, at that run rate, that makes our tariffs worth about $3 billion at the moment.” Speaking from Los Angeles this morning (New Zealand time), the toy mogul said it was difficult to read the mood on the ground there. New Zealand businessman Nick Mowbray could not say he wasn't worried about the impact of tariffs. Photo / Alex Burton The co-founder of Zuru Toys told Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking Breakfast it was impossible to plan around the tariffs. He also said it would be “obviously impossible” to shift manufacturing of his products from China to the United States to skirt the 145% tariff rate. His business, along with retailers, were “in a holding pattern”. “It's hard to say we're not worried. Everything seems to change each day. We're in a state of stopping everything at the moment because it's impossible to plan,” said Mowbray. “We're all hoping it doesn't continue for very long, but the [US] administration is definitely very chaotic.” He believed it was possible the tariffs would ultimately be negotiated down. Trump announced huge tariffs on different countries on April 2. In a whiplash change of tune a week later, he said all targeted countries but China would face a 10% rate for 90 days. Photo /The New York Times The $3b worth of tariffs his company would have to pay would be passed on to consumers in significant price increases. Mowbray said he was in the US, at his office, trying to work through the impact of the tariffs. The US has become Zuru's main export market, supplying the likes of Walmart, Target, Costco and Amazon. An escalating trade war ensued after the US imposed tariffs on China, seeing Beijing put in a retaliatory 125% rate on US imports. Trump announced huge tariffs on different countries on April 2. In a whiplash change of tune a week later, he said all targeted countries but China would face a 10% rate for 90 days. The trade war has created fears of an economic downturn as the dollar drops and investors part with US government bonds, normally considered a safe investment, Agence France-Presse reported. The impact on New Zealand remains uncertain. Kiwibank economists have outlined three possible scenarios for the country: Quick negotiations of tariff deals and little relative economic damage, longer dealmaking and prolonged economic insecurity, and the least likely scenario, recession.

If New Zealand's economy was a grass paddock, it would be in pretty rough shape. We're coming out of a pretty bad drought (economic recession) and there's widespread political disagreement about how to get our worn-out field of brown grass back to the lush green pasture it once was. Bernard Hickey speaks to Kiwibank economist Sabrina Delgado about what looks promising (green shoots) and what looks worrying (brown roots) in the meadow of our national economy.

Our next guest is someone with an incredible story of how farming turned his life around. Ben Purua is a finalist for Kiwibank's Young New Zealander of the Year.

Patriotism or profit. Essentially, that's what these changes the Government is making to the way it hires companies to do work for it come down to. It's like “Buy NZ-Made”. The Government wants to make it easier for local companies to get on its books. But what's more important? Getting the cheapest price from (potentially) an overseas company or paying a bit more to hire a local company? Patriotism versus profit. For me, when it comes to things like government contracts, patriotism wins hands-down every day. It's like that argument people sometimes make about Kiwibank and why the Government doesn't use it as its official bank. The answer to that is simple - the government can't shop locally when it comes to its bank, because Kiwibank doesn't provide the full-scale banking services that it needs. But it wants to buy locally more, and that is a good thing – even if it means paying a bit more for it. It is kind of weird though that —on the one hand— we've got the Government bringing all these foreign outfits to the big investment summit tomorrow and Friday. But today, it's saying that it wants to give local businesses a leg-up or make it easier for local companies to get government contracts, by making changes to the hoops businesses have to jump through to get them. Nicola Willis kind of explained-away the weirdness on Newstalk ZB this morning, saying that she wants overseas companies coming here to invest, hire locals, and grow the local economy. So, what that would look like is we'd have a big foreign outfit coming over to build a motorway or some other piece of big infrastructure, and they'd have a whole lot of sub-contracts with local companies like Fulton Hogan and all the other usual suspects. But what I'm hoping these changes will mean is that we'll see less of the usual suspects getting government contracts and the others —that probably feel on the outer a bit— getting their share of the work too. If you've ever put a bid in for work with the government —like I have, in a previous life— you'll know that some of the hoops you need to jump through are ridiculous. In fact, my impression has been that if you're already in the system, you're sweet – if not, then the hoops can be enough to make you pull the plug. Which is why the Government plans to ditch 24 of those hoops. Big picture, it wants to prioritise hiring local outfits. It also wants to ditch some of the requirements that companies have to agree to, to get government contracts. Which are worth more than $50 billion a year. One of the proposed changes is doing away with the requirement that companies providing catering, cleaning, and security staff pay their workers the living wage. That's one of the changes that I'm a bit torn on – because governments bang-on all the time about wanting to create a high-wage economy. And while the living wage isn't a high wage (it's currently $27.80 an hour), it's better than the minimum wage. But a company that gets work with the Government probably does work for other people too and has staff working on other things other than the government work. So, the requirement to pay a living wage probably has quite a significant impact across the whole business and is probably enough to put some smaller businesses off going for government contracts. You can tell that Nicola Willis is taking to her new-ish job as Minister for Economic Growth, because one factor she wants the government to consider when awarding contracts is what's called “the economic benefit test”. So government agencies will look at contract bids and base their decision on who to go with based on the economic benefit to New Zealand. So it would sign a potentially more expensive contract with a local company because it would deliver more economic benefit to the country. More local workers getting work, more work for local subbies and the profits staying in New Zealand. As opposed to a cheaper contract with a foreign outfit that might bring its own workers into the country and take its profits overseas. I'd choose patriotism over profit, any day.

Kiwibank says the latest unemployment figures are ugly, but in line with expectations. The unemployment rate rose to 5.1 percent in the December quarter - the highest it's been since September 2020. It's being blamed on a slow economy reducing demand and making employers trim jobs. Chief economist Jarrod Kerr says the Reserve Bank needs to do more to put New Zealand into recovery mode. "Interest rates are still restrictive - they're restraining households, they're restraining businesses, we're seeing it in the labour market, it's time to take some of that pressure off."

Yesterday a long running court case came to an end – at least for now. BNZ has won permission to shut down Gloriavale's bank accounts. Now I actually feel quite uncomfortable about this. I'm no fan of Gloriavale – I'd like to see the place close and the people there realise how weird their situation is. So I should, on the face of it, like what BNZ is doing because it will effectively, probably, shut down Gloriavale. Because without a bank, how can Gloriavale continue? No one else will bank them – they've tried, no other bank will take them. This is why they took the court case, to try to force BNZ to keep their bank accounts open, because without it, they basically can't do business anymore. They can't do anything really, because in a modern world you can't survive without a bank account. It's how you get paid, how you pay your power bills, how you get a mortgage to buy a house, how you order things from overseas. But I still don't think this is the right thing, because of the precedent this sets. Banks can shut your account if they don't like what you're doing —doesn't have to be criminal— and there's too much of this moral policing already. Australian banks here are imposing penalties on our dairy farmers who they don't think are cutting emissions by enough. Kiwibank's pledged to stop banking coal mining businesses. BNZ won't let a couple of women running a sex toy shop open bank accounts because they sell sex toys. There is a massive debunking scandal playing out in the US where even Melania Trump reckons her account was shut down after the Jan 6th riots. And to be fair to banks, it's not as if this is new. Remember they wouldn't let women take out mortgages unless a male relative said it was okay as recently as the 1980s. I get that it's a bank's right to stop doing business with whoever it wants to, I just don't like the bank's reason. Because if it's Gloriavale today, a couple of girls selling sex toys tomorrow, who comes next? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An investment banker says the most sensible thing for Kiwibank to do is join the banking oligopoly. A Commerce Commission report on banking found the sector isn't competitive enough, as it's being dominated by the big four Australian players. The Government's announced its intentions to find investors to deliver Kiwibank up to $500 million dollars to drive competition. Financial markets expert Andrew Body told Heather du Plessis-Allan he doesn't think it'll become a disruptor. He says that Kiwibank has been around for 23-odd years, and hasn't been a maverick in that time. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government's helping boost competition in banking by bolstering Kiwibank. The Commerce Commission recently painted the banking landscape as an oligopoly in a review - pointing to the domination by the big four Australian players. Today, Prime Minister Chris Luxon's announced he wants to implement all its 14 recommendations and disrupt the status quo.

The Government's beefing up Kiwibank - at the request of the Commerce Commission. Its report on banking has found the sector isn't competitive enough, and offered up 14 recommendations. Simplicity co-founder Sam Stubbs says the banks would be foolish to ignore Government warnings. He says the Prime Minister's telling the banks - the game is up. "Remember, the only person that can seriously do damage to the big banks in New Zealand is the Government, because they've got regulation powers."

New research from KiwiBank found that 1 in 3 first home buyers in New Zealand got a boost from the Bank of Mum and Dad. With the cost of living and interest rates in the current day, it may seem impossible for most parents to be able to do this the old-fashioned way - cold hard cash. But there is a way around it. Property investor Nichole Lewis joins with more. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One in three first home buyers in New Zealand have received financial help from the Bank of Mum and Dad, new reports claim. A Kiwibank study has found high property prices are keeping young people out of the market - meaning more Gen Z and millennial buyers have turned to parental support to get on the ladder. Lesley Harris from the First Home Buyers Club says the Bank of Mum and Dad remains the nation's biggest lender for young buyers. "We're seeing such a massive disparity between people's incomes and ability to purchase a home, which is completely different to what it was 20 or 30 years ago."

The Prime Minister believes a major Commonwealth diplomatic summit does have a future, with certain priorities. Christopher Luxon joined his Commonwealth counterparts for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, held this year in Samoa. King Charles and Queen Camilla also attended. Christopher Luxon told Mike Hosking it was a good opportunity to meet leaders from the Caribbean and Africa who he doesn't see as often and build some relationships with them. He says it has to be focused back on development and democracy, building the capacity of public services in developing states, and getting rid of corruption. When it comes to Kiwibank, the Prime Minister says it needs to be fired up as the maverick in the banking sector. Treasury's advised ministers of three options to boost Kiwibank's capital to better compete with the Australian-owned banks. They include borrowing money for Crown investment, third party investment, or an Initial Public Offering on the share market. It comes after the Commerce Commission market study on personal banking. Luxon told Hosking he hasn't seen the advice, so doesn't yet have a view on the best option. He says one of the options is the stock exchange, and they could also seek Super Funds or other funds to invest. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Treasury's advised the Government of three options to boost Kiwibank's capital to better compete with the Australian-owned banks. They include borrowing money for Crown investment, third party investment, or an Initial Public Offering on the share market. It comes in response to the Commerce Commission market study on personal banking. Massey University Business School associate professor Claire Matthews told Mike Hosking if Kiwibank is bigger, it can operate at a similar level to the other big banks. But, she says, whether it actually makes a real difference in how the sector operates won't be known unless it happens. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
