The Reserve Bank governor says the Monetary Policy Committee spent considerable time discussing the possibility of hiking the Official Cash Rate. It has again held the Official Cash Rate at 5.5%, where it's been for a year. Inflation has fallen to 4%, but is still above the target of a 1-3% band. Adrian Orr told Mike Hosking that the talk about hiking the OCR is real. "The disappointing part is how stubborn domestic inflation remains. "We don't determine productivity we just deal with the

Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister Andrew Bayly told Mike Hosking that it would be the start of open banking in New Zealand. He says over time it will drive competition and lower prices for people. LISTEN

The Finance Minister says the economy is in a very painful spot for many people. The Reserve Bank has again held the OCR at 5.5%, where it's been for a year. It means interest rates may have to stay higher for longer. Minister Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking that the Government's made it clear Adrian Orr needs to get inflation back into the target band.

Even our sports are being impacted by the rising costs and turbulent economy. South Canterbury Rugby Union have had to pull out of the Ranfurly Shield as they can’t afford to play. CEO Tim Hyde-Smith told Mike Hosking that it would cost them about $50,000 to get up to Hawke’s Bay to challenge the Magpies for the shield, of which they only managed to raise 30%.

Mike's Minute: Why the hate for charter schools?

Here are a couple of things I know about education. The first is that we aren't that good at it and our results, whether PISA scores, or kids leaving school without proper qualifications, or even turning up in the first place, speak loud and clear on this. The second is that although the unions argue more money is the answer, it is, and it isn't. In New South Wales at the moment, they are handing out $30,000 dollar bonuses for teachers in tricky-to-fill subjects. They still aren't filling

The trial's defence has now wrapped up as jurors prepare for deliberations. US correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that Trump declined to speak, despite his claims throughout the case he's been silenced.

The Reserve Bank is walking a tight rope when it comes to interest rates. The OCR is expected to remain unchanged at 5.5% when the bank releases its quarterly Monetary Policy Statement this afternoon. It's signalled a rate cut may not come for another year. ANZ's Chief Economist Sharon Zollner told Mike Hosking that their view is that a cut is more likely to come next year, as inflation is coming down quite slowly. On the other hand, she said, the economy has come down quite quickly, so it’ll

There are pleas for the Government not to scrap the first-home buyers grant. Newshub is reporting the Government plans to redirect the $60 million allocated to help first-home buyers and put the money into social housing. The scheme gives buyers between $5,000 and $10,000 towards their first home if they earn under a certain threshold, and property experts say dissolving it would be a bad move. Whitestone Group Director Shaneel Singh told Mike Hosking that many of his clients need the grant. He

It’s a sad, old business when part of your market update is the cost of the violent crime you are having to deal with. Michael Hill this week talked of the sort of things businesses talk of; the downturn, the mood, the spend and the consumer. All of it's bad right now for obvious reasons. What is interesting is they said of the various countries they operate in that New Zealand is the worst in terms of sentiment. I wonder why. But they talked too of the cost of security and the cost of crime,

It's a day of shame after an inquiry into Britain's infected blood scandal suggests a cover up. More than 30,000 people received infected blood and products in the 1970s and 80s from the state-funded National Health Service. 3000 people died and thousands more contracted hepatitis or HIV. The inquiry's found the government hid the truth to save face and expense. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is pledging financial compensation for those impacted.
