The SME Stream Weekly Wrap - 18th September

New Zealand’s major political parties appear to be moving closer together on KiwiSaver – but there are some significant differences in how far they’re willing to go.

Liam Dann and Tamsyn Parker look at plans to increase employer contributions, whether compulsory saving is the answer to New Zealand’s retirement shortfall, and why businesses may ultimately carry much of the cost.

Plus, rising US interest rates and bond yields could have consequences for Kiwi mortgages and KiwiSaver balances, while new GDP figures may offer some hope that New Zealand’s fragile economic recovery is finally gaining momentum.

Infrastructure shapes our daily lives, but some might think that it's too often planned election by election. 

Infrastructure New Zealand wants to put an end to stop-start funding and shifting priorities, launching "Let's Build NZ". 

The campaign promises to put choices in front of voters and rate the parties against its eight priorities. 

Today on The Front Page, Infrastructure NZ chief executive Nick Leggett is with us to explain what concrete changes he wants to see so we can build for generations, not just the next election. 

Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

You can read more about this and other stories in the New Zealand Herald, online at nzherald.co.nz, or tune in to news bulletins across the NZME network.
