    Can a bail-out work?
    4 Oct 2008: The shocking fall in the markets this week are a necessary step on the road to recovery and one day there will be bargains to be had. However, I fear there is still worse to come.

    Tax Cuts Bring Kiwisaver Into Reach For Many
    27 Sep 2008: The "I can't afford KiwiSaver" excuse is about to get weaker for many New Zealanders.

    How To Destroy Your Currency
    23 Aug 2008: A colleague of mine recently returned from Zimbabwe, where he had been assisting with monitoring of the election there. He showed me a bank note and I must admit it was impressive to hold something with a value of Z$50b (that's Z$50,000,000,000!). ... more
    Kiwisaver More Flexible And Generous Than Commonly Thought
    16 Aug 2008: Two lesser known features of KiwiSaver make it more user friendly than many people realise. They could entice non-joiners into taking part in a scheme which – after all - they are helping to fund, as taxpayers.... more
    Professor Gives Economy An 'F' Grade
    9 Aug 2008: Over the past six months I have varied my opinion about the seriousness of the world financial situation from moderately bad to terrible to 'muddle through'.
