The Reserve Bank has raised the OCR by 25 basis points to 2.75 percent, in line with economists' expectations. 

Markets expected the cash rate would go up, but many had priced in a bigger increase - and there's still an expectation that the OCR could go up further down the track.

Keir Starmer is set to quit as the MP for Holborn and St Pancras, and this decision is set to spark a by-election.

In a statement he said it had been a 'huge honour and privilege' to represent the constituency for 11 years but he would now turn his focus to 'international affairs'.

UK correspondent Gavin Grey says Starmer could be looking into a role at NATO, but it's unclear if he's the best fit for that post.

An industry group for chartered accountants is putting a novel idea on the table to lower the cost of New Zealand Superannuation to the Crown, while keeping it universal.

Chartered Accountants Australia New Zealand is advocating for the next Government to allow people to delay the age at which they start receiving Super.

According to NZIER modelling, this approach could reduce the annual cost of Super to the Crown by billions of dollars every year, depending on how the system was designed.

NZ Herald Wellington business editor Jenee Tibshraeny explained further.
