Hoy en Capital Intereconomía, Miguel Ángel García-Ramos, Director de Relación con Inversores en NZI Helmets, nos habla de esta empresa líder global en seguridad y diseño para motociclistas. En 1983, con un casco de fibra de vidrio comenzó el camino de Nazario Ibáñez Azorín, que fundó NZI Helmets. 42 años después han producido más de 21 millones de cascos que han vestido campeones del motociclismo como Alex Crivillé, Álvaro Bautista y Jorge Lorenzo. Yecla Murcia fue su cuna, lugar desde donde operan y dominan el panorama nacional desde hace décadas. Sin embargo, el mayor síntoma de la evolución de la compañía es que en 2015 vendía el 80% de su producción en España, y actualmente ese 80% de las ventas proceden de los mercados internacionales. Esto les ha servido para cimentar una base sólida donde impulsar los planes de expansión de la compañía que se centran ahora en aprovechar el valor de una marca ampliamente reconocida entre los motoristas de todo el mundo. Ya en 2024, NZI dio un paso fundamental en su trayectoria el debut en la bolsa BME Growth, con un precio de salida de la acción de 0,91 euros y una valoración inicial de 15 millones. Sobre su experiencia en bolsa, el invitado comenta que “ha sido muy positiva, no solo a niveles de rentabilidad sino que también es una herramienta de marketing, para nuestro valor y nuestra industria”. Dentro de un mercado competitivo, NZI es prácticamente la única acción cotizada de este sector, junto con una empresa japonesa. Se trata de un dato relevante, teniendo en cuenta que, según explica Miguel Ángel, “De aquí hasta final de la década este es el sector que más va a crecer”.

The company, which owns the State, AMI and NZI brands, said it had collected 19 percent more in premiums from retail customers in New Zealand than in the previous year. Chief executive Amanda Whiting says the company has worked through a big year for the sector.  "We've been focusing on supporting customers who we know have been experiencing cost of living challenges - so we've been doing a fair bit around that, we've been making sure that we're bolstering our customer care."

I bet if you drive a petrol vehicle and you've said anything about how much cheaper it must be to have a diesel, anyone who does have a diesel has jumped down your throat and started banging-on about road user charges. Or RUCs, as they're known.  Because when you buy petrol you pay a fuel tax. When you buy diesel, you don't. But you have to —or you're supposed to— pay road user charges.   And, as we know, the EV drivers who have been getting away paying nothing are getting brought into the road user charge regime.  So, while the diesel might be cheaper at the pump, it kind of all evens-out once you take the RUCs into account. That's the thinking anyway.  But the New Zealand Initiative think tank is saying today: “Wrong, it doesn't even out at all”. They're saying it's actually very uneven.  They're saying today that we need to ditch the current road-user charging model because it's old-hat and isn't a fair way of getting the money needed to build and maintain roads.   And they're not just saying ‘stop doing what we're doing'. They've also come up with an idea that they think would be fairer - which I agree with, to a point. And I'll get to where I have reservations about it.  So what the New Zealand Initiative wants to see is a system using things like smart technology to monitor vehicles and set individual charges for every vehicle owner based on the types of vehicles we drive, how far we drive and when we drive.   It says a system like this would also make it easy to bring-in congestion charging, which it believes is also necessary to get traffic flowing more freely in our cities.   So, essentially, what it's proposing is a different type of user-pays system to fund our roads instead of the petrol taxes and road user charges we currently have.   It says it wouldn't necessarily increase the revenue the Government gets from motorists, but it would spread the cost burden more evenly and fairly.  Example: the impact of flat fuel taxes on people on low incomes. The NZ Initiative  makes the assumption that if you're on a low income, you tend to have a vehicle or vehicles that are less fuel efficient than something that's rolled-of the production line this year.  So you might not actually use the roads any more than the flash Harry with the new car. But you are penalised because your car's less fuel efficient.  So, generally, I get the thinking and I like the idea. But you're not going to get me installing devices in my vehicles that keep a record of what I do with them.   Call me paranoid, but I think there is enough monitoring going on. Find my iPhone, cameras everywhere. So, if this went ahead, I'd be saying ‘no thanks' to the “smart” part of all this —the electronic monitoring— and I'd have to pay my road user charge ahead of time. Just like the system we have in place now.  So, yes, I agree that the way we do it now is cack-handed and clumsy and we need to do things differently.  And, yes, taxing people on the basis of road use instead of fuel consumption makes much more sense.  But it's a definite 'no' from me when it comes to installing more devices to keep tabs on what I'm up to. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The country's largest insurer, IAG, has been inundated with flood and cyclone claims, more in the last two months than in all of last year. IAG's brands include AMI, State Insurance and NZI. Since January, it has received nearly 40,000 claims. IAG New Zealand Chief Executive Amanda Whiting says they estimate 20,000 homes across the country are at risk of severe flooding, and the company is actively working with the government's Cyclone Recovery Taskforce, lead by Sir Brian Roche, about where flood-damaged houses should be written off for good.

New Zealand's largest insurance company has revealed the rising cost of climate change. IAG, the parent company of AMI, State and NZI, ran a Wild Weather Tracker, showing there were more than 13,000 weather-related claims in the past six months - rising 34 percent from last year. It shows 71 percent of New Zealanders agree climate change is a key contributor to wild weather  - but only 40 percent have taken action to prepare in the past six months. CEO of AMI, State and NZI, Amanda Whiting told Mike Hosking they have outlined a three step plan to the Government to help mitigate climate risks. She says the focus should be working with high risk communities to reduce the effects of climate change. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Insurance claims are flooding in following the weekend's severe weather which has left many with a lengthy - and expensive - clean up. Heavy rain caused widespread flooding and evacuations across the West Coast and in Marlborough. IAG Insurance says it has already received more than 570 flood-related claims across its brands, which includes AMI, State and NZI. Insurance Council chief executive Tim Grafton spoke to Philippa Tolley.

A potential threat to independent motor vehicle repairs.IAG, who is the parent company of insurance brands State, AMI, NZI and Lumley, has created a company called Repairhub which takes care of the easier repair jobs.Collision Repair Association's Neil Pritchard told Heather du Plessis-Allan those brands account for up to 60 per cent of the industry."If they've got 10 or 12 Repairhub shops doing between 80 to 100 jobs a week - that could be 50,000 jobs coming out of the pool that's no longer available to regular repairers."LISTEN ABOVE

The country's largest insurer is rolling out its own collision repair facilities around the country, but industry leaders warn it will bring reduced consumer choice and poor quality control. IAG, which includes NZI, State, AMI and Lumley, is opening its own panel beating outlets in Christchurch, Wellington and Hamilton, to the one already established in Auckland. This means IAG will be assessing, paying for and completing the vehicle repair. The Collision Repair Association, which represents panelbeaters and auto refinish painters, says the move will leave thousands of consumers without choice and without a third party to have quality-control oversight. IAG rejects this, saying the new outlets will maintain quality, and overseas, this end to end model gets customers back on the road quicker.

PI InsuranceNZI is to limit its professional indemnity insurance to FAPs with three or more advisers, says the firm. The announcement last week surprised Katrina Shanks,CEO of Financial Advice NZ, who says her organisation will need to settle on a different PI insurer by the end of 2021.Clinton Stanger of Curated Risk recommends advisers hold PI insurance and not self-insure.Steven Burgess, Director of Compliance Refinery says while advisers can be diligent and careful, that doesn't stop the energetic litigious client trying their luck.

In the re-start of NZI, Chibs is joined by PFF's Gordon McGuinness to recap the entire 2020 Ravens Draft Class.

In this episode of NZI, Chibs and Cole are joined by Aaron Kasinitz of PennLive. They'll discuss Minkah Fitzpatrick, the secondary, the offensive line, and of course the Ravens vs. Cardinals.

In this episode, Cole and Chibs will talk tech, Chris Moore slander, a massive idiot, Ravens wideouts, linebackers, and defensive backs. Part one of two, of the training camp episodes. (Quick note, Adam will not be re-joining NZI until September.)

The country's biggest insurer IAG, which owns State, NZI and AMI, is no longer writing new contents cover in risk areas like Wellington.IAG is defending itself against claims it's abandoning Wellingtonians by banning new customers, saying it's due to the city's earthquake risk factor.Mortgage broker Bruce Patten told Kate Hawkesby the government needs to step in before it becomes worse.He says other insurers have been turning people away as well."It's very concerning. This is a major issue covering nearly 50 percent of the market, which they never should have been able to gain. People who don't currently have policies with IAG will most likely not be able to get them now."Asked if this could result in a rise of premiums for the region, Patten said he expects to see a snowball effect ripple through the market."You take 50 percent of the market out, it puts all the pressure on the other insurers and they will start pulling out because they will have the market share in the area, it's a snowball effect."You can't let this happen quickly early on without intervening."Patton says although he thinks IAG have done a poor job reassuring customers, it's a problem many other insurers will now have to grapple with."This has been really poorly marketed by IAG, they have done a terrible job. I have seen evidence of people ringing around insurers in Wellington and being told they won't be covered."It's not just an IAG problem, there are others as well. The Minister needs to get everyone around the table to try and sort this out."

This episode provides a sneak peek at the 'new look' of NZI, as Chibs and Adam get into what happened in Carolina, some trade news, and the Pittsburgh game, as well as delving into the stupid takes that losses bring about.

Adam and Chibs go into this one completely unprepared, per the norm, and the result is a surprisingly decent show. They talk Browns, Michael Crabtree, NZI shirts, and a host of other topics, including the future of this Ravens team.

Chibs and Adam sit down with Ken McKusick for the inaugural episode of NZI, to talk Ravens 53, depth chart, game predictions, and much more. This one is.. uh.. kind of a mess. Enjoy!

Hine Ransfield from Occupy Auckland, social networker and Lisa Er, an ASB Auckland business woman of the year and Founder of the Awareness Party, have a conversation on Occupy Wall St to Occupy Auckland.Is it a revolt, an uprising, an insurrection, a rebellion, or a revolution?YES! all of these, by the 99% who see global control firmly in the hands of the 1%. Yet we trust the outcome will be conscious, peaceful and by a dynamic successful process.Touch typing is mightier than the truncheon! And it can be.Americans presently occupying Wall St and countrywide financial centers need our principled support. As New Zealand is the first major country to see tomorrow first, can we be a moral template for a peaceful resolve towards cleansing a global economic system based on debt, exclusiveness and adversity. Here in NZ, many say that mainstream media is in the camp of the status quo, as it's a media that keeps us content, distracted, compliant and titillated. But in reality it is also a media of censorship by omission. For though Wall St has been occupied for a month, you will notice mainstream NZ media by not covering this, are either very conservative or compliant.Yet, NZ can be the seedbed for a new consciousness.  We are a stable country, with no war or starving, fairly well educated and connected by the web.We also come from a deep knowingness of welfare and social safety nets, as well as once being a country based on numerous nationwide co-operatives, especially in the rural sector, trust banks, mutual insurance societies, building societies and liquor trusts. This being prior to private capital, in the mid 1980s early 90's mostly from offshore, cleverly circumventing these altruistic models, and today very little cash flows out to the community, but instead disappears overseas as profits.Occupy Wall St is a great awakening of the West that if we are to thrive as a cohesive cooperative and awakened humanity, we have to do away with the banking system that has taken us to the abyss of uncertainty.What is our next strategic move that will shift the balance back into the hands of the 99% that can for the first time evolve a planet of peace and security?  A system that is holistic, inclusive, follows the precautionary principle and has a duty of care?We are paying governments to find solutions, but they are not coming up with any, hence this disciplined global protest, because the Governments are at the behest of the money that continuously flows on upwards to banking interests.  So much so, that we will never be told who we in NZ get our overseas loans from and what the conditions are?Listen to two aware and active women share with me there concerns and aspirations about the Occupation that is presently continuing at Aotea Square here in Auckland today.WEB LINKS."Occupy Auckland" Facebook Page: http://facebook.com/OccupyAuck"Occupy Auckland" Website: http://www.occupyauckland.org"Occupy Queen Street" Website: http://www.occupyqueenstreet.org.nzI have witnessed some very profound things live on this website direct from New York;http://www.livestream.com/globalrevolution
