Podcasts about reserve bank

The GDP numbers look good. The Strait of Hormuz is (maybe) open. To find out whether that means the green shoots will bloom into great bountiful gardens, we called in economist Shamubeel Eaqub to ask: Is this cause for optimism? Will the fruits of recovery be shared fairly? How does National's new KiwiSaver policy look to you? And just how close to the bulls**t is the Reserve Bank sailing on interest rates.Plus: Hayden Donnell tells us just How Good is the best of the crunchy peanut butter on NZ supermarket shelves.At Large with Toby Manhire is produced by Te Aihe Butler, Jin Fellet and The Spinoff.

Send us a question/idea/opinion direct via text message!Are you sitting tight in a three-bedroom home waiting for the property market to "improve"? You might be missing a massive strategic window.In this episode of the New Zealand Property Market Podcast, Head of Research Nick Goodall and Chief Economist Kelvin Davidson unpack the latest "trade-up premium" data. They reveal why a softer housing market has actually made it significantly cheaper to upgrade to a four-bedroom home right now, with value gaps shrinking by up to 12% across major New Zealand regions.The guys also dive into a massive week of economic shifts. Between lower-than-expected Q1 GDP growth (0.8%) and cooling monthly inflation numbers, the previously "guaranteed" July OCR rate hike has suddenly hit a 50/50 standstill. Could the Reserve Bank hold off until September?Plus, we look at why property investors are showing early signs of election nervousness in the upcoming Chart Pack, and celebrate an epic weekend of Kiwi sport - from the Hurricanes' masterclass Super Rugby victory at the Cake Tin to the All Whites' tactical run.This week we discuss:The Shrinking Value Gap: Suburb-level shifts in the 3-to-4-bedroom price premium (and why downturns favour the bold buyer).The Macro Shift: Why 0.8% GDP and falling Q2 CPI projections (down to 4.0%) are giving the RBNZ pause.The Mechanics of the OCR Vote: Dissecting the 3-all split committee and the likelihood of one voter flipping back to a hold.Chart Pack Teaser: First-home buyer resilience vs. shifting investor sentiment ahead of the election.The Sports Wrap: A massive weekend for the Canes, the Black Caps, the Warriors, and the All Whites.Sign up for news and insights or contact on LinkedIn, X @NickGoodall_CL or @KDavidson_CL and email ngoodall@cotality.com or kdavidson@cotality.comThis podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice.

The Australian share market declined slightly on Monday, tracking towards a third consecutive day of losses. Tech stocks led declines following WiseTech's sharp fall, while energy remained volatile amid Middle East tensions. Key upcoming catalysts include May inflation data on Wednesday and employment figures on Thursday, both crucial for Reserve Bank considerations. Steve Daghlian is a Market Analyst at CommSec.

A few different balls are up in the air across the central banking world, and change is afoot. Recent declines in oil prices have seen the odds of OCR hikes change, while the Federal Reserve in the US has entered a new era with Kevin Warsh as Chair. We'll get a useful sense check in a fortnight from the Reserve Bank, while the evolution of the Fed will be a longer-term theme to monitor.

Last week, the Reserve Bank kept interest rates on hold but the decision was followed by a warning that a future rate rise was on the table because prices are still rising too fast. It came as the US and Iran signed an initial agreement to end more than three months of war, which had sent global supply chains into chaos. Meanwhile, Australians are feeling the pinch and deepening economic disaffection has coincided with rising support for Pauline Hanson's rightwing One Nation party. Nour Haydar speaks with Greg Jericho about why so many Australians are feeling pessimistic about the economy

In this episode of the Australian Property Podcast, Pete Wargent and Chris Bates unpack a housing market that is trying to stabilise after the Budget shock, without much conviction that the hard part is over. They start with the Reserve Bank holding the cash rate at 4.35%. Bond yields are off their peak, some fixed rates are edging lower, and buyers are asking whether confidence can rebuild. Pete and Chris explain why that does not guarantee a strong recovery while policy uncertainty, softer investor demand and weak sentiment still weigh on Sydney and Melbourne. The episode then turns to what is changing on the ground. Investors are pulling back, upgraders are cautious, first-home buyers are getting a little more breathing room, and rents remain under pressure because vacancies are still tight. They also unpack stamp duty changes, buyer incentives and why mortgage stress is still more of a pressure story than a distressed-sales story. Finally, they look ahead to late 2026 and 2027. If rates fall meaningfully, the market could find a new leg higher. If cuts stay modest, Australia may be heading into a slower, more balanced phase instead. It is a useful episode for buyers, investors and homeowners trying to work out what matters now and what noise to ignore.

In this week's episode of The Adviser's What's Making Headlines podcast, your go-to source for the biggest stories in finance and real estate, managing editor Annie Kane, senior journalist Charlie Tchetchenian, and commercial content writer Ben Squires unpack the central bank's latest call and its refusal to rule out future rate cuts.

ஆஸ்திரேலியாவின் ரிசர்வ் வங்கி (Reserve Bank of Australia) RBA, (cash rate) வட்டி வீதத்தை மாற்றாமல், அதே 4.35 சதவீதத்தில் வைத்திருக்க ஒருமனதாக ஜூன் மாத கூட்டத்தில் முடிவு செய்துள்ளது. இந்த ஆண்டு பிப்ரவரி, மார்ச், மே ஆகிய மாதங்களில் தொடர்ந்து மூன்று முறை வட்டியை உயர்த்திய ரிசர்வ் வங்கி, இம்முறை அதில் மாற்றம் செய்வதில்லை என்று முடிவெடுத்திருக்கிறது. ஆனால் இது நிரந்தர நிறுத்தம் அல்ல என்றும், தாம் விரும்பும் இலக்கை விட பணவீக்கம் இன்னும் அதிகமாகவே இருப்பதால், தேவைப்பட்டால் ஆண்டு இறுதிக்குள் மீண்டும் வட்டியை உயர்த்தக்கூடும் என்று ரிசர்வ் வங்கியின் ஆளுநர் மிஷேல் புல்லக் (Michele Bullock) தெளிவுபடுத்தியுள்ளார். ரிசர்வ் வங்கி வட்டியை உயர்த்தும் சாத்தியம் இருக்கும்போது, சில வங்கிகள் ஏன் தங்கள் வீட்டுக்கடன் வட்டியைக் குறைக்கின்றன என்ற கேள்வி எழுகிறது. இது குறித்த செய்தியின் பின்னணியை எடுத்து வருகிறார், குலசேகரம் சஞ்சயன்.

The Government says manufacturers share its goal of doubling export receipts. Stats NZ says equipment and food production were the biggest drivers of the 0.8% rise in GDP in the March quarter. BNZ data shows manufacturing activity's dipped again since the fuel crisis started. But Minister for Small Business and Manufacturing Cameron Brewer told Andrew Dickens things are trending up. He says signs are positive, with strong forward orders and confidence improving across the country. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Data due out today is expected to show our economy was continuing to recover before the fuel crisis really began to bite. Stats NZ is releasing GDP figures for the March quarter at 10.45. It's expected to show the economy grew between 0.7 and 1% between January and March, but it's likely to have contracted again between April and June. Westpac Senior Economist Michael Gordon told Andrew Dickens normally this is a phase in which we'd be able to get some strong growth, but there are still some headwinds against the economy. He says we still had interest rate relief over the past few years, but it's more a case of the Reserve Bank taking its foot off the break, but not stomping on the accelerator to get the economy going again.

In this episode of How India's Economy Works, host Puja Mehra speaks with economist Renu Kohli, formerly at the Reserve Bank of India and the IMF and currently senior fellow at the Centre for Social and Economic Progress (CSEP). They talk about the recent depreciation of the rupee and why this episode may be different from previous currency shocks. Despite India's large foreign exchange reserves, the rupee has faced sustained pressure. Why?Renu Kohli argues that the deeper issue lies not in India's trade balance but in the drying up of foreign capital inflows. She explains the difference between reserves earned through exports and what she calls "borrowed reserves", examines the decline in foreign direct investment, and discusses whether policymakers underestimated the structural nature of these pressures.The conversation also explores the RBI's exchange-rate management strategy, the limits of using reserves to defend a currency, the impact of global capital flows, and why short-term measures can only buy time. Looking ahead, she outlines the reforms India may need if it wants to attract and retain long-term foreign investment in an increasingly competitive global environment.What does the rupee's recent weakness tell us about India's place in the global economy? And what must change to ensure that external vulnerabilities do not become a lasting feature of India's growth story?Tune in for insights on the rupee, foreign capital, forex reserves, and the structural challenges shaping India's economic future.CHAPTERS(00:00) Introduction(01:04) Why Forex Reserves Didn't Prevent Rupee Weakness(04:25) How the Current Shock Differs from 2013(08:55) The Hidden Problem: Drying Foreign Capital(13:33) Is This India's Most Serious External Vulnerability Since 1991?(16:14) Did the RBI Misread the Nature of the Pressure?(19:24) Should the Rupee Have Been Allowed to Fall Earlier?(22:54) RBI's Short-Term Measures and Their Limits(26:20) Can Policymakers Count on Global Capital Returning?(29:29) Why India Is Struggling to Attract Foreign Investment(32:19) What India Must Do to Secure Long-Term Capital Inflows

Το διοικητικό συμβούλιο της αποθεματικής τράπεζας, Reserve Bank of Australia, συνεδριάζει σήμερα και αύριο και οι Westpac, ANZ, Commonwealth Bank και NAB προβλέπουν ότι θα αποφασίσει να αφήσει αμετάβλητα τα επιτόκια στο 4.35%.

In this episode, Monika examines two important developments that shaped the economic conversation over the past week: the Reserve Bank of India's decision to keep the repo rate unchanged at 5.25%, and India's strong FY26 GDP growth of 7.7%, with the fourth quarter growing at 7.8%. She explains how the RBI's inflation-targeting framework and relatively low inflation of 3.1% have given policymakers valuable room to maintain rates despite the inflationary pressures created by the West Asia conflict and elevated crude oil prices. Revisiting the basics of the repo rate and its role in controlling inflation and credit costs, she argues that prudence always appears boring during good times but proves invaluable when crises emerge. The lesson, she says, applies equally to nations and to individuals managing their own money.She then turns to the growth story and why India's economic momentum remains intact despite rising global uncertainties. Looking at broad-based indicators including agriculture, steel, cement and commercial vehicle demand, Monika highlights that FY26 was a remarkably strong year and that India entered the current period of geopolitical turmoil from a position of strength. While the RBI's projection of 6.6% growth for FY27 reflects caution amid higher oil prices and global fragility, she argues that India's growth has merely been “shaved, not sunk.” Had the current conflict not erupted, the country was positioned to exceed 8% growth. She reminds listeners that the government and the RBI still possess several policy tools to support the economy, from attracting foreign capital to deploying monetary and fiscal measures. Her message remains consistent with previous episodes: prepare for a slowdown, but reject the merchants of doom. India may face turbulence, but it is far from crisis.In listener questions, Srinivas asks whether LIC annuity products deserve a place in retirement planning, prompting Monika to examine the broader case for and against annuities, discussing guaranteed lifelong income, simplicity and protection from market volatility, while also highlighting their low returns, inflation risk and tax disadvantages compared with alternatives like debt funds and systematic withdrawals; Bhavesh, an NRI with a carefully constructed 50:50 portfolio, seeks guidance on how to rebalance during market corrections and transition debt allocations as retirement approaches, leading to a detailed discussion on the hierarchy of redeeming maturing fixed deposits, arbitrage funds and debt funds while preserving long-duration gilt investments; and Rachana from Coorg shares her concerns about retiring early with a ₹1.25 crore corpus and no pension, opening up a conversation about longevity risk, healthcare costs, protecting capital, and the importance of continuing to earn for as long as possible in order to strengthen financial independence in later life.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) Why India's Growth Story Is Shaved but Not Sunk(00:00 – 00:00) RBI Holds Rates Steady as Inflation Stays Under Control(00:00 – 00:00) The Pros and Cons of Annuities for Retirement Income(00:00 – 00:00) Rebalancing a Portfolio: Which Debt Investments Should Go First?(00:00 – 00:00) Is ₹1.25 Crore Enough to Retire at 45 Without a Pension?https://www.pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=2269286®=48&lang=2https://rbidocs.rbi.org.in/rdocs/PressRelease/PDFs/PR3855508EB4A59FF46F9B57BBA200AA250B8.PDFIf you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at ⁠mailme@monikahalan.com⁠

Funny how no none can agree why prices in Australian property might fall ahead. The Government blames the RBA for rising interest rates, while the RBA says Government policy is a significant factor. Sometimes I just wish they would let the property market be a real market not a public policy plaything. Reserve Bank of … Continue reading "Why The Slowing Housing Market In Australia?"

Australia is emerging as a surprising beneficiary of new technological shifts, even as the country faces a growth hit from the Middle East war. Rapidly accelerating data construction is driving an unprecedented demand for copper, while battery solutions are fueling a massive consumption of lithium. Escalating geopolitical tension is also providing a powerful tailwind for rare earths as Western nations hunt for secure ex-China supply – all of which is highly positive for the country's mining sector. Meanwhile, sticky inflation has forced the Reserve Bank of Australia to become one of the most hawkish central banks in the world, raising interest rates three times already this year. While high rates are dampening demand and cooling house prices, they are also proving to be a boon for earnings of the country's banks and insurers. Bloomberg Intelligence senior analyst Matt Ingram joins John Lee on the Asia Centric podcast to discuss how these structural forces are reshaping corporate earnings, pushing the economy to move up the value chain, and redefining Australia's "lucky country" moniker.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Higher mortgage rates have given the Reserve Bank a 'bit of breathing space', its chief economist says. Paul Conway, one of the Reserve Bank committee members who voted to keep the OCR on hold last week, said the market is doing some of the work for the central bank.

Send us a question/idea/opinion direct via text message!The tide has officially turned for mortgage interest rates. Following the Reserve Bank's razor-edge split decision to hold the OCR last week, borrowers are hitting a major structural shift. An estimated 40% of all New Zealand mortgage debt is exposed to repricing in the next six months alone - shifting from a mindset of two years of falling rates straight into a rising rate wall.This week, Nick Goodall and Kelvin Davidson analyse the macroeconomic consequences of this lag in monetary policy.

The biggest trading week of the month is here, and there are several major economic events that could create significant volatility across the forex, stock, and futures markets. We'll also review last week's biggest market-moving events, including the latest developments in the US-Iran situation, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's hawkish hold, softer US inflation data, and what recent economic releases mean for future interest rate expectations.

This week's budget announcement had a focus on sorting out the books, and no straight sugar hits for individuals.Infrastructure, healthcare and education seemed to be the clear priority of our fiscal plan, but three relief for the cost-of-living pressure many face. Along with that, council rates have gone up for Auckland and the South Island's West Coast, and the Reserve Bank's signalled that there will be an increase to the OCR shortly - so the period we've seen of low interest rates on a mortgage is coming to an end. So how can we prepare ourselves for a toughening economy? Was it good that we didn't have any government handouts?

Good news for people with mortgages, the official cash rate is unchanged for now, but hikes are coming. The Reserve Bank is expecting inflation to head north of four percent by September, off the back of the Middle East conflict. In a split decision the Reserve bank held the cash rate at 2.5 percent. Governor Anna Breyman, had to use her casting vote to keep it there. Economics correspondent Gyles Beckford spoke to Lisa Owen.

The Finance Minister says she's crafted the right Budget for the times ... as the Reserve Bank warns times are tough. It's held the Official Cash Rate steady - not wanting to damage the economy - but says it will have to hike it soon to counter surging inflation caused by the Middle East conflict. And one economist says that leaves the government battling a very difficult set of circumstances. Political reporter Lauren Crimp has more.

Australia's sharemarket rebounded after a softer-than-expected inflation report lifted hopes the RBA may hold interest rates in June, but ABS data showed some businesses are passing on higher fuel costs to consumers. SBS On the Money explores what the latest CPI figures mean for households, the Reserve Bank and investors, with analysis from Sunny Nguyen, Head of Australia Economics at Moody's Analytics, and Niv Dagan from Peak Asset Management.

The Reserve Bank says it expects to raise the official cash rate some time in this year, in the hopes of batting away the risk of persistent inflation caused by the Middle East conflict. Reserve Bank Governor Anna Breman spoke to John Campbell.

The Reserve Bank Governor is feeling good about her captain's call to keep the Official Cash Rate unchanged at 2.25%. Anna Breman made the final decision after the six-member Monetary Policy Committee she chairs was evenly split on whether to hike the rate. Breman says she understands the argument for hiking but told Mike Hosking she doesn't think now's the right time. She says financial markets have already tightened quite a lot, and the economy is slowing down, which will reduce pressure on inflation over the medium term.

India's growth numbers shape how we understand everything from jobs to investment to global standing. But what if those numbers don't tell the full story?  New research suggests India may have both underestimated and overestimated growth at different moments over the past two decades. That insight opens the door to a broader conversation about India's macroeconomic choices, from exchange rate policy to electricity pricing to the quiet persistence of trade barriers. To discuss these issues and many more, Abhishek Anand joins Milan on the podcast this week. Abhishek is the Founder and Managing Director of Insignia Policy Research and a Visiting Fellow at the Madras Institute of Development Studies. He's previously worked as an Economist at the World Bank and was a member of the Indian Economic Service, working in key positions throughout the Indian Ministry of Finance. Together, with Arvind Subramanian and Josh Felman, Abhishek is the author of a new working paper published by the Peterson Institute for International Economics titled “India's 20 Years of GDP Misestimation: New Evidence.”  Abhishek and Milan discuss the controversy over India's GDP estimates, important reforms within India's statistics ministry, and the debate over the Reserve Bank of India's policies to defend the rupee. Plus, the two discuss Abhishek's work on power sector reform and the embrace of non-tariff barriers that stymie the spirit of India's new bilateral trade agreements.
