Could compulsory KiwiSaver help make New Zealanders wealthier and build a stronger economy? In this episode of Money Talks, Liam Dann speaks with policy advocate and economics student Leonard Hong about why he believes New Zealand needs a more ambitious approach to saving, investment and long-term wealth creation.

Leonard reflects on his Korean-New Zealand upbringing, his fascination with economics and politics, and the lessons New Zealand could take from Australia and Singapore. He also discusses Gen Z’s financial anxiety, the future of work in an AI-driven economy, and why compulsory retirement saving could give ordinary Kiwis a far more secure future.

The Official Cash Rate has risen for the first time in three years — but does that mean mortgage rates are about to climb too?

Tamsyn Parker is joined by NZ Herald Wellington Business Editor Jenée Tibshraeny to unpack the OCR hike, the risk of inflation becoming embedded and why fixed-term borrowers may not feel the impact immediately.

They also examine an OECD report suggesting New Zealand’s real wages are near the bottom of the developed world, why workers are struggling to negotiate pay rises, and whether restrictive employment contracts are holding back productivity.

Plus, thousands of properties could carry a hidden natural-hazard warning that may affect insurance claims, renovations and even the ability to secure a mortgage.
