(Interview recorded on 2 June 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 Reserve Bank’s main lever against inflation is the OCR. But are they making a mistake by waiting to raise interest rates? What’s the long-term outlook for monetary policy?
- Budget 2026 has landed, setting out the nation’s financial priorities. But is the government being too timid? Are they missing the chance to pursue a courageous vision for our future?
- The global market continues to climb, defying pessimism, creating new wealth. Are New Zealanders losing out by being too risk-averse? Should they be embracing the opportunities that AI and quantum computing could bring in the decade ahead?
We at Wealth Morning believe in objective, independent media where time is given to form opinions beyond the sound bites.
