Here are the key things you need to know before you leave work today (or if you already work from home, before you shutdown your laptop).
MORTGAGE RATE CHANGES
Heartland Bank raised their reverse mortgage rate by +50 bps to 9.00%.
TERM DEPOSIT/SAVINGS RATE CHANGES
Rabobank raised all its term deposit rates, taking its 6 month offer to 5.30% and its 1 year rate to 6.00%. They are the first bank to match SBS Bank at that rate/term. The Cooperative Bank raised its one year rate to 5.55%.
DIVING DEEPER
The rate at which property values are declining sped up in February according to the latest QV figures.
PRICED
Meridian Energy announced that the interest rate on its $200 mln issue of 5.5 year unsecured, unsubordinated, fixed rate 'green bonds' will be 5.91%, being swap plus 1.05%. Investors managed to catch the latest jump in swap rates yesterday. This bond is rated BBB+. This bond replaces its $150 mln issue which expires next week and which had a coupon of 4.53%.
SENTENCED
Five leaders of the Samoan Assembly of God Church in Manukau have been sentenced to community detention and ordered to repay the money they received when they made false donation tax credit claims to the tune of nearly $170,000.
CLEAN UP
The Government will provide $15 mln in the short term to local councils to remove rubbish, as a longer-term approach is developed, the Government announced today. Several regions are facing significant costs associated with residential waste removal, which has the potential to become a public health and environmental risk.
CHINESE INFLATION LOW
Opening-up demand in China is not generating consumer inflation. Their CPI fell to 1.0% in February from 2.1% in January. Market analysts had expected February to come in at 1.9%. The actual result was the lowest since February 2022, and was due to a sharp slowdown in price rises for both food and even more so for non-food categories. The January to February rate deflated at a -6% annualised rate. Milk prices rose; beef and lamb prices fell. To be fair, the easing of food prices comes as the Chinese New Year period passes. But that can't hide weaker demand overall.
CHINESE PRODUCER PRICES DECLINE
Separately, China said producer prices deflated at a -1.4% year-on-year rate in February although there was no change between January and February.
SWAP RATES FIRMISH
Wholesale swap rates are likely to be marginally firmer again today across the curve, again. The 2-year closed at a 12 year high yesterday and is likely to be higher today on early indications. However, the real action in swap rates comes near the close. Our chart will record the final positions. The 90 day bank bill rate is up +4 bps at 5.19% which is +48 bps above the current OCR. The Australian 10 year bond yield is now at 3.69% and down -2 bps today. The China 10 year bond rate is up +1 bp to 2.91%. And the NZ Government 10 year bond rate is now at 4.64% and down -2 bps from yesterday and still above the earlier RBNZ fix at 4.60% which was up +2 bps today. The UST 10 year is at 3.99%, and unchanged from this time yesterday.
EQUITIES FLAT, BOOKENED BY TOKYO & NZX50
In its Wednesday session on Wall Street, the S&P500 gave up ground increasingly as the day wore on, down -0.4% at one stage, but near the end things turned up and it ended up a minor +0.1%. Tokyo has opened its Thursday session up +0.6%. Hong Kong has started little-changed. Shanghai is up +0.1%. The ASX200 is also little-changed in early afternoon trade. The NZX50 is down -0.3% in late trade.
GOLD MUCH SOFTER AGAIN
In early Asian trade, gold is little-changed from this time yesterday, still at US$1813/oz.
NZD STABLE
The Kiwi dollar is unchanged this time yesterday, now at 61.1 USc. Against the Aussie we are also unchanged at 92.7 AUc. And against the euro we are unchanged as well at 57.9 euro cents. That means the TWI-5 is still at 69.7.
BITCOIN LOWER
Bitcoin has moved very little again today, now at US$21,716 and down another -2.4% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +/-1.4%.

This drop in property values is really quite something, especially when you factor in the amount of inflation we have had since the property market peaked. In inflation adjusted real terms, a drop of 50% from the peak isn’t out of the question now.
Yep, oddly, I find myself agreeing with your statement! As I said before, I think house values will drop more in 2023 than in 2022. I believe we're in for some tough times later this year, negative equity, mortgagors not being able to pay their mortgages, banks having to make tough calls such as whether to force mortgagee sales or wait in the hope of a market bottom and rebound… For the patient and cashed up, there will be bargains to be had in 2024!
Those bargains of '24 might not be the bargain you hope for.
They might just be normalised prices. And if so, given all the heartache and financial pain that is coming to get them there, it's highly unlikely we'll let the capital gains' cat out of the bag again.
So buy a normalised property(s) in 2024 by all means, but expect them to remain price constrained.
They might just be normalised prices.
What's the definition of a "normalised price"? Closer to the long-term ratio of h'hold income to price? The price correction in 2023 will be quite spectacular then.
One key factor will be "does it have vacant possession?"
To have unwilling parties in there could well be a huge headache all round. Given the changes the Labour govt has made.
bw: buy a normalised property(s) in 2024 by all means, but expect them to remain price constrained
I have no intentions on buying a "normalised property" (whatever that means), I will look for and find a bargain in 2024-2025 !
And what does the Bank of Mum and Dad do? Was that deposit a loan or a gift?
I take it you're not a parent yet. Parents generally want to help their children, there's no point taking a lot of excess $ to the grave, most likely the bank of M&D gifted the deposit to their kids.
totally agree but I would have told them things where nuts and to chill the farm.... clearly some did not have any sense of the economic cycle and where suffering from FOMO
It’s one thing putting up the deposit.
but it means the kids can’t save, and when interest rates rise
just saying
Yep, and now they will not have enough to cover their own healthcare costs as they get older which will put even more pressure on the health system. All that wealth pissed away into supporting the unproductive housing market.
The wise approach is to formalise it as a loan, which means its recoverable in the event of a subsequent separation / divorce & if structured correctly would be excluded from a means test by eg. MSD.
Loans can always be forgiven at any time, including in Wills.
I also have some experience with with one bank that insisted that it be documented as a gift, for reasons unexplained but probably related to mortgage security in the event of default.
no its to meet unemcombered LTV ratios if not a gift your piece is a loan
Still no move from the big banks? What gives?
They are obviosly picking the economy is not ging anywhere in 12 months?
BNZ rapid save was up to 3.95-% last week, so they see only a short window of OCR hikes then the economy crashes.
But the B,BB,ƁBB lenders see it different...
Westpacs 5.5 compounding is OK
The big 4 are moving at snails pace to the inevitable 5.5% 1 yr TD (and higher)
They loaded up on FLP $s and as the ANZ have said, they don't need your deposits.
How many of their clients are dead in the water if they move? I suspect they are holding off as long as possible so people refix before they can't. And they've got the margin for it, so expect to see that a few times this year.
Councils need $15 mill because they can’t cope with urban rubbish removal. Obviously still well short of cycle lanes?
I would adjust my cycle commute to/from work based on which suburbs had glass recycling on which days of the week.
Can confirm that cycle lanes weren't immune to time pressured glass recycling truck drivers.
Yep. Dead right. Plus bins blowing over in high winds compared to the original small green square bins. It's all a huge PC ballsup.
Years and years of voting in local politicians that promise to keep rates low (at the expense of infrastructure and services spending) eventually leads to these sorts of things. So now taxpayers have to come and bail out the tightfisted ratepayers.
Years & years of voting in local politicians captured by their councils never ending wishlists of visible vanity projects instead of invisible essential infrastructure maintenance.
"captured by their council's" not sure what this means. The politicians are the councils.
Question then, exactly how many tight fisted ratepayers are not tax payers not forgetting, for just a start, that GST is collected from rates?
Quite a few, often retired and disproportionately over-represented in voting turnout.
The January to February (Chinese inflation) rate deflated at a -6% annualised rate
That is absolutely staggering !!! It's a total outlier to most other countries inflation rate. A more in-depth analysis is surely warranted? Could it be a precursor to other countries to follow?
I don't believe anything that comes out of China.
Yet, you buy everything that comes out of China, your clothes, your phone or computer your posting from, (its components), your car, etc...
What's your point?
Try looking at the made in labels Yvil..you might now see more Vietnam, India, Taiwan, Mexico...but I guess you are glued to the weather stations these days?
Yes exactly. And I do my best to buy clothes that are made in those countries rather than China.
Bank of China (credit rating A) - anyone had any dealings with this mob? Bit of a stand out on the rankings in terms of TD's at the moment..........
Well I once again have a large chunk of cash to deploy.
Thinking I'll be mostly boring and move it into TD.
My last entry was 1 year 5.30. Now it is 5.5% (at the "big" banks)
I smell a bit of an increase coming up soon, might be best to wait a week or two.
Thoughts?
I think 2023 is a good year to be "boring" LoneWolf, 2024 will possibly be a better year to be "brave", quite possibly 2025 too, as I don't think economic chaos will rebound quickly.
Try 6% at BNZ ,6 months if you've got 500k+
You've lost me.
BNZ is offering 4.80%p.a. 180 days $2,000 - $5 million.
You've got to have over 5 mill to haggle at that bank!
I’d take 6% from BNZ in a heartbeat. Is big Hemi blowing smoke?
Nope I asked them, thru the app , for 12months @t 6% for less than <1M and greater than >750k and no worries.
This was two weeks ago. 6 months should go!
The big 4 banks are just to greedy. Their shareholders must have some bad karma by now.
We are greedy Hamy, including YOU, wanting 6% TD for 6 month. Why don't you take 3% for 6 months to show us all how NOT greedy YOU are?
DrYvil(drivel), How dumb are you? ..
The banks rob from everyone and give to rich Aussie shareholders.
I and many others are doing NZ a service by taking back some of the stole billions and investing it in NZ.
Thats not greed! Thats " giving back" bro!
I must be quite dumb indeed Hemi, how are you "taking back some of the stole billions and investing it in NZ" ?
Yip you are.
Figure it out dude!
I'm hanging out for a 6% 1yr Term PIE at one of the major banks. PIE as I need that lower 28% tax rate. It can't be too far away...
Totally random I know – but it’s becoming quite maddening that every time I ask for the slightest thing to be done by any service provider I invariably receive 2 days or so later an email or text headed along the lines of “How would you rate the support you received”.
Most of them relate to relatively straight forward tasks that would be performed all day every day by those concerned.
I know it’s easy enough to simply bin it all – just wish there was an opt out option for all of it.
There - feel better already.
Reply to one of those, and you'll end up on SurveyChimp's database - or something like it, and get never ending more surveys to partake in.
I asked the Ministry of Transport a simple question, on their website, concerning a WOF that would expire while my vehicle was under repair, waiting for parts. Immediate reply that a response could be expected no later than 30 days And that was it, a reply as necessary on the 30th day. Guess at least they can run a decent diary system.
However, with some providers, and well prior to the 30 days notice period in this instance, you could easily receive a chirpy “How would you rate the support you received”.
This is of course well before they’ve actually done anything of service or value.
I needed a second phone for my wife for a short term so bought a $19 prepaid 2 degrees sim. I stopped the plan the day before it expired. A month later i put $10 on it to use short term again using prepay rates. Immediately got msg from 2 degrees saying my $85 plan had started. Looked on my credit card and saw they had taken $95 from me, not $10. I tried ringing their 0800 number. 2hours15min on hold. My call was important to them. Then some moron answered and told me he couldn't help and he put me through to prepaid. Another 35 mins on hold and lady answered. Told her my story and she said hold the line and my call was disconnected. Frustrated and with my blood pressure rising, I tried emailing the 2degrees complaints email. They answer the email after 2 working days each time asking the same information i have already supplied. I have had 10 emails from them now. No further ahead. I am sure i will soon get the "how did we do survey". 2degrees used to be good. Like everyone these days they are shit.
Haha love that last sentence. Sad but pretty much true
Human staff time has become too expensive and skills are thinly spread. We are in a funny interim state where we've pumped our numbers up to the point where competition for space and energy has made us expensive (bad), and the concentration into cities has supported automation (good), but computers are still beyond stupid and we have to spell absolutely everything out for them (bad).
I look forward to the day when there is some qualitative improvement with computers (or whatever we end up calling them). I'm not talking about parlour tricks like ChatGPT that spit whatever is on the web back at us. I fear it is still decades away.
Only way is to now phone.
2degrees dont answer for hours. I was doing some work in the office today and had another crack. Two hours on hold with bad music in the background and the occasional "your call is important to us we will be with you shortly ". I finished in the office and hung up with my call unanswered.
Noticed that the emails from 2degrees say that they were sent South African Standard time. Signed off with names like Thando. I looked up Thando and it is a South African name.
A little of the U.S. tech cull comes to NZ. Xero battens down the hatches for the upcoming storm?
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/business/485606/xero-announces-plan-to-cut-up-to-800-jobs
Xero stock up 11% today..new CEO cleaning out the deadwood at long last!
simplify our organisation / rightsize etc etc etc basically cancel all the dumb projects we as senior mgrs started, plus fire a few people we where too gutless to do earlier, bet you not many seniors will be fired.
Not really any surprises here.
RBA Governor Dr Philip Lowe received heavily-discounted, taxpayer-subsidised mortgage perk for five-bedroom house in Sydney's ritzy east
Sky News Australia can reveal Dr Philip Lowe obtained a half-price home loan - subsidised by taxpayers - from the Reserve Bank to purchase his five-bedroom property in Sydney's eastern suburbs in 1997.

Its as good as gold mate! not that Perth Mint crap though https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/singapores-central-bank-boosts-gold-r…
I own gold at the Perth Mint. I'm not a happy camper.
Regardless, S'pore's actions surrounding gold purchases will slip under the radar of most people in the West. If you mentioned it around the water cooler, I could imagine responses like "What? What on earth are they doing? Are they mad?"
Not sure if its all sizes or just the bigger ones so as to rip off the chinese.... They will have to replace stuff sold incorrectly and it will probably be a matter of 0.01% but its the fact they carried on doing it....... a bit off them now tho they have apparently stopped doing it and paradoxically probably safest to buy off now..... today is a good price.....
If prices keep rising I will soon be using my 1oz Perth mint kangaroos to feed the parking meter. Gold hasn't been the inflation hedge I expected.
Reflects a will to raise real interest rates to stop governments inflating away our collective debt.
Slurp, what's that sucking noise.
Pope Brian Tamaki knows, cut it out....
I dont like to say 'I told you so' but those individuals who bought gold as an investment, are suckers.
Poor JC buys things that don't provide an income stream.
Over 2 weeks and Kiwibank, Westpac and ASB are yet to up their Savings Account rates...
Personally I have transferred the savings I have for a house deposit from Kiwibank over to BNZ RapidSave
Until they drop the rate
And then I move it elsewhere
Kiwibank was one of the last to move last time. Guessing it is way for them to increase their profits even more, but at least taxpayers should get the profits.
Be nice if the owners of kiwibank used them as a market leader and drove the margins diwn
I pulled mine from Kiwibank oncall last friday, wasnt waiting any longer.
BTR build to rent housing policy from National.
So. Back to the future. Early seventies and eighties there was OYO 'own your own' units on separate titles, also 'purpose built investment flats'. That was a standard description on QV, property guru.
The purpose built ones were slightly higher intensity and on single title to stop them being sold individually to owner occupiers.
It would be good to read some articles from those years to see the housing pressures.
Link to speech on housing by Chris Bishop below. Quite like the guy.
Like the comment about David Parker and Tony Randerson KC being the only people who like the RMA reform.
I think he alludes to the idea of at least a portion of GST revenue on housing development to go to local communities. Quite like the idea, although the big question is how does government plug that revenue hole?
https://www.national.org.nz/speech_to_property_council_residential_deve…
First in Opposition they blamed people with Chinese-sounding names.
Then they came up with the hoax that was KiwiBuild, which has so far delivered just 1.6 per cent of the promised 100,000 houses.
Then they launched a war on landlords by removing interest as a legitimate expense for rental property owners and extending the bright-line test to 10 years. They were warned it would put pressure on rents and the social housing waitlist, but they did it anyway.
Hits the nail firmly here
Seymour said the same about sharing the GST. They will soon have to make good their commitment.
As I say, keen to Know what less government revenue would mean
Less consultants
Whats so funny is believing the clowns in public service could get anything done without contractors (up to 1200 a day and consultants 1200-2500 a day) THEY ARE USELESS dodgey pro nouned lefty waste of spacers.
I'm a consultant. Been a public servant. I've said it many times. The reason why the public service struggles is because the pay is too low compared to private sector and there is constant pressure to keep headcount low. The work still needs to be done. All this achieves is that we all end up paying more as taxpayers for work that the public sector could do efficiently and effectively if they were allowed to operate at full capacity and spend their budgets on staff instead of consultants.
But no, let's continue to slam them, put pressure on keeping number lower than they need to be and continue to pay more than double what I would cost the organisation if they were allowed to hire me directly.
Well, I see total wastage in the ‘policy analyst’ space. A whole lot of people talking around and around in circles and then generating garbage despite all that.
I believe staffing could be halved in the policy area. You wouldn’t lose anything and might actually gain something with much more focus.
Don’t mistake that fir a right-wing agenda. Rather, all the wasted money on bureaucrats needs to go to those on the front line.
Nah, our organisations need to change course dramatically and constantly (increasingly so). I've seen projects that made sense 2 years ago no longer make sense but public sector funding doesn't allow you to change direction that quickly. That requires new policy, it doesn't happen on it's own. Often the barrier to good policy not being implemented is political will at the top or organisational inertia from those on the front line that are resistant to change. But paying front-line staff more would definitely help.
Guessing you don't know many personally?
The people in public service back office jobs are normal people. Often I see them switching from corporates to public, or the other way round.
Like anyone, they just take the best job they can get...
I am a contractor and fully understand why contractors are used to get things done.
I have no qualms with support staff (admin etc) in frontline healthcare, education etc. in fact, they are critical. It’s the absurd proliferation of ‘policy analysts’ that I have a massive problem with.
Disclosure - I have worked on contract in government ministries and seen the absurd wastage with my own eyes.
Definitely wastage but you'll also know some of that wastage is down to the processes that public sector need to adhere to.
Imagine you're a frontline public sector PM trying to just get on and build/fix up new road.
You organise all the technical stuff like consents and designs and then go to public consultation because this is a requirement under the local government act and people have to have their say.
Suddenly a whole bunch of people kick off because (enter any reason you can think of here, saving bunny rabbits, noise, lack of cultural narrative, road is too big, road is not big enough, road should be built over there , road should have trees but not those trees, etc....)
Now you're spending most of your time responding to these random queries (the public who are now your 'customers' because some clown private sector business exec comes in and says we need to provide customer service) while you also try to keep the budget under control as your well scoped project incurs delays and dubious mitigation add ons.
Just as you manage to get through all this shit you have a change of administration and this administration has got in on a platform (voted in by a tiny minority interest group) to overturn whatever decision was made by previous administration.
As a PM you've just pissed away 3 years of your life working like a dog with nothing to show for it.
That's why we have inefficient public sector and why you need policy wonks. If they don't manage to lock down an overall strategy and policy direction to get the public and also politicians of different persuasions on board you go nowhere.
Hmmm you think that will make up all or a big part of the shortfall? It will only partly make it up.
(ps. i actually agree on a big pullback on consultants AND bureaucrats)
Just quoting Lucks-In (Luxon)
Labour will make a big deal of the budget hole. The way they did with Steven Joyce, which I think later was proved SJ was right
I think they missed the nail completely. Rents have gone up much less relative to inflation since the interest deduction removal. And what do they mean by legitimate? Legitimate under the old rules?
Agreed. "They were warned it would put pressure on rents and did it anyway.." - that's not evidence that it actually put pressure on rents, just the same old empty fear-mongering rhetoric.
I like Bishop too but they can’t help themselves:
“Mum and Dad landlords aren’t the enemy. They’re an important part of our housing market and the sooner the Government stops demonising them, the better.”
Try telling that to the FHBs they were outbidding at auction. But who can blame Mum and Dad when it’s completely tax free.
Yes Jimbo thats the point, no one stoped propellor property or anyone else setting up negitive geared ma and pa in 2014-2018, hell we all knew that 7 house luxon and 5 house helon where in on the game, why shouldn't the masses.... Seriously both the left and the right are donkey deep in this ponzi and the causes, i have no pity for the fools who did not get out at the top or the clowns that caused it.... maybe one day we will have a royal commision into the housing ponzi, tho I can't see labour or National wanting to see that, can you? just sit back and see the great unwind take place.
The drubbing continues, even when LL are losing 🤣
Dp
They also can’t help themselves with ‘freeing up land supply’.
I don’t really believe or trust anything either party says.
Dr Andrew Wilson
"Will we see a recession this year? I think clearly the answer to that is NO unless something significant from left field comes along that we can't see... we can be happy that China is back in town to some degree because that will only add to our gdp performance"
Never heard of him. Looked him up and he is in Australia. See the comment below from dumbthoughts, plenty of anecdotal evidence of big issues brewing here in NZ.
You seem to think the NZ economy is going to be ok. Would be interesting to hear your rationale.
In simple terms the 8 cylinder car which keeps running even on two cylinders. Can you name one reserve bank leader who does not realise their economies are still growing. But first look past the rhetoric
Andrew Wilson shares a weekly time slot with Michael Yardney from Metropole to review the Aussie housing market. I know, it's a different market. Andrew has good data that would probably interest you. I doubt you would agree with them though but I hope so
Macquarie say its farked love or hate the millionares factory they do it it right more then most
Yes, but why listen to people with some decent sort of connection to reality when you can listen to a charlatan to confirm your own bias instead?
https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2023/03/aussie-homebuilders-brace-for-…
Oh well, again I will have to agree to strongly disagree.
He looks like yet another charlatan to me
He looks like yet another charlatan to me
He is a charlatan. Spruiker with a sketchy PhD.
Yardney has an even sketchier background, which best not be mentioned here.
There you go.
HW2 is a bit desperate isn’t he? Digging for anyone who is spruiking the economy in the face of all evidence to the contrary…
Bit sad/ weird
Or we could run with your failed and changing predictions. You put up the article on house building which misses the mark.
I thought you might like to see the data that is presented, seems not. Yields are growing
With the lag in data reporting I doubt we’ll “see” a recession this year too. First two quarters positive GDP which I’m sure they will be then if H2 is negative we won’t know about it until early next year. Which won’t help incentive any OCR drops either.
Anecdotal business data update - was speaking to a longstanding client earlier today, who manufactures and then primarily sells via established retail partners (selling to construction industry and rural sector).
Their two largest retail partners - "household names" - are reporting a fairly sudden and properly significant drop off in leads and sales from anything relating to resi construction and rural customers. Not just my client's product category, but across the board.
These retailers are doing substantial volume and have good data history to compare to. The word relayed to me from one account manager was "collapse" in sales activity.
This aligns with the reports from another manufacturing client who sells via big box retailers like Smiths City and Harvey Norman, who has seen demand in the middle of the market evaporate. People still want cheap stuff, and the truly cashed-up always are holding folding to buy with, but where the real pain is being felt is missing out on those financed over 60 months purchases in the $3-10k range.
Interesting Nationals version of build to rent is LARGE scale investment , interest deductability, depreciation back on table , not sure he is going to off all this to ma and pa tho..... Be very careful what you wish for guys..... we will see super fund move in to build big apartment buildings, think 25 storeys in takapuna, mission bay etc etc IMHO a great thing. many parts of auckland should look like surfers who wants a shitbox in Milldale when you could live way up high but central
Is it stuff thats affordable for low to mid income renters IT GUY. The rent cost of BTR units at Sylvia Park will be leveraged off the location. Not cheap
I noticed a BTR development being done in mangers on a busy road. Trying to make a dumb idea sexy in my opinion.
I agree here the location needs to be sexy , land is cheap if you go up high...... but we talking people who build to rent not build to sell.... different game, Nats looking at what aussie says they want to do ie open up to coporate and offer rental agreements where you would feel safe as the landlord will not kick you out, hence high with good school zones would suit many , short or long term.... this will not happen in shite locations. its farming people but at a lower cost then ma and pa and probably better landlords. also ability for the landlord to kick out troublemakers quickly , who would not like this as a tenant..... this is an interesting policy from the nats that will appeal to there left not so much to there right
back in 2019 - 2020 total council rates in NZ where 13.9 bil gst on tap was 2bil, I like the idea that councils get all of this tax on a tax back but think it should be legally ring fenced and go into 3 waters locally / roads etc ONLY allowed to be spent on legitamate infrastructure spend, so in AKL central rail ok, but no sing songs in parks
I doubt the sing songs in parks costs much.
Personally I think it is very important for the councils to compete on livability, otherwise the young will go elsewhere and the city will be a big retirement home.
There is a good new app for informing the appropriate councils of problems in the neighbourhood.
I dont think I am allowed to say the name here but you can try google
The app really works and super super fast and easy
