The economic issues set to impact your wallet this year

High inflation, job insecurity, and interest rates through the roof have been plaguing New Zealanders over the last few years.

While it looks like we are turning a post-Covid corner, new threats are on the horizon as global conflicts continue, and questions remain over what the new Government's plans for fixing the economy actually are.

From house prices and rental costs to migration woes, this year is shaping up to be a big year for the economy. 

Today on The Front Page, we're joined by Kiwibank senior economist Mary Jo Vergara, and Infometrics chief forecaster Gareth Kiernan, to discuss the economic year ahead.
