Inflation could fall in the latest figures, but rising fuel costs are already threatening another squeeze on household budgets. Could more interest rate hikes follow—and what would that mean for an economy still struggling to build momentum?

On The Economy of Everything, Liam Dann and Tamsyn Parker discuss the gap between economic recovery and how people actually feel, why that’s a difficult sell ahead of the election, and the prospect of another tough Christmas for retailers.

Plus, they unpack a report warning compulsory KiwiSaver could leave some low-income earners worse off, the arguments for compulsory saving, and the balancing act between retirement savings and mortgage debt.
