The Government is taking bold steps to boost competition, strengthen Kiwibank, and ensure fairer outcomes for Kiwi customers. Key changes include:

✅ Boosting Kiwibank's capital: Up to $500 million may be raised from KiwiSaver funds, NZ investment institutions, and professional investor groups to help Kiwibank compete with the "big four" Australian-owned banks.

✅ Exploring a public share offering: A potential IPO for Kiwibank is on the horizon (post-2028) after its digital transformation, offering more accessible growth options.

✅ Revised Reserve Bank focus: New directives for the Reserve Bank prioritize competition while maintaining financial stability, with reviews planned for:
❇️Risk weighting for lending.
❇️Minimum capital thresholds for new market entrants.
❇️Restrictions on the use of the word "bank."
❇️Barriers to lending on Māori freehold land.

✅ Improved services for consumers: Emphasis on open banking, better payment switching, and clearer home loan comparisons.

"Competition is king," as Nicola Willis puts it. These changes aim to create a level playing field for smaller players and better outcomes for Kiwi bank customers. What do you think?

Despite lingering challenges such as the cost of living, many believe that the downward trend of interest rates will lead to a gradual recovery as we move into 2025."

Falling interest rates are tempered by uncertain employment conditions and housing inventory at levels 2014 levels (graph below), suggesting the market may be returning to a more balanced position.

At adviceHQ , we’re seeing more activity through mortgage applications, which are often a leading indicator of market trends. Whether you’re buying or selling, understanding your position now can open up future opportunities.

Whether driven by cultural values, financial considerations, or the desire for closer family connections, this way of living is becoming increasingly popular.

Recently, adviceHQ was featured in a Trade Me article by Gill South highlighting the financial and practical benefits of multigenerational living. As more families face the rising cost of living, pooling resources can provide access to larger, more desirable homes while ensuring security for each generation.

adviceHQ specialise in helping families navigate the complexities of financing such arrangements, ensuring that both long-term goals and immediate needs are met.

If your family is considering multigenerational living, reach out to see how we can help you structure your finances and plan for the future.

✅ RBNZ OCR: 5.25% and expected to decline.

The NZ economy remains finely balanced, with the delayed effects of the recession still unfolding. Meanwhile, regulators are beginning to respond to these conditions. Today, the US Federal Reserve provided firm direction by cutting rates by 0.5%. Will the RBNZ follow suit and provide similar relief?

If you're concerned about how this may impact your financial position, adviceHQ provides independent financial advice on mortgages, insurance, KiwiSaver, and business/commercial lending. Feel free to reach out to Ben Presling, Michael Williams, or myself to review your current strategy and explore future options.

Markets have spoken! The 2yr swap rate (bank wholesale funding rate) has dropped to Sep 2022 levels (4.19%), down 1.6% from the peak on 4 Oct 2023 (5.79%).

The latest inflation and unemployment statistics have left the door wide open for OCR cut/s. The only unknown variable is the RBNZ itself, the organization tasked with "protecting and promoting the stability of New Zealand’s financial system."

At adviceHQ, we assist clients in both increasing and decreasing rate environments. Contact us for independent financial advice on your mortgage refix, restructure, or refinance.
