(Interview recorded on 29 April 2026)
Paul Brennan, host of Money Talks, is joined by Simon Angelo, editor of Wealth Morning. Here’s what they are discussing this week:
- The introduction of central bank digital currencies has become a lightning rod for controversy. Is our Reserve Bank now backing down in the face of stiff public opposition?
- New Zealand’s recent trade deal with India has been getting a lot of attention. But does this FTA actually offer our economy real benefits over the long term?
- The Iran conflict is rewriting the global oil supply map. Is the stock market pricing in a new balance of power?
- Our society is ageing, creating skill shortages. Is it possible for robotics and automation to fill the demographic gap?
- We are now entering the fifth year of a housing slowdown. Amidst a shifting financial landscape, what are the prospects now for Kiwi property?
We at Wealth Morning believe in objective, independent media where time is given to form opinions beyond the sound bites.
