About this listen

Signs of a brighter economy in the year to come.

ASB's forecasting annual growth of more than two-and a half percent in 2026.

It points to an accelerated housing market, more resilient exports, and a renewed willingness to spend.

Chief Economist Nick Tuffley told Heather du Plessis-Allan we can expect inflation to soften further, with the Reserve Bank seeing more stimulus in the pipeline.

He says it's in wait and see mode - but seems fairly confident it won't have to cut interest rates any further.
