The surprisingly large uptick in the amount of debt the Treasury is expected to issue in coming years will come at a cost, S&P Global Ratings warns.

On Tuesday, Treasury increased its forecast bond issuance programme by a whopping 16 percent.

NZ Herald Wellington business editor Jenee Tibshraeny explains further.

Fresh drinking water is an ongoing worry for those in Vanuatu following yesterday's 7.3 magnitude earthquake.
