Brad Olsen: Infometrics Principal Economist on what the incoming coalition Government has planned for the economy

Election 2023 - A podcast by NZME

The economy was a significant talking point this election- and remains one of the biggest issues the incoming Government is expected to sort out. The special votes have been counted, meaning National and ACT will need NZ First to form a Government after National lost two seats. Infometrics Principal Economist Brad Olsen says the three parties have a shared goal to bring down public spending, but there are other areas they disagree on. "Something like the likes of the age of superannuation is an area where there's a lot more division on. Both National and ACT want to raise the age of eligibility, NZ First wants to keep it where it is." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
