Analysis by Keith Rankin. To the surprise of most pundits, substantial real estate price inflation has resumed, after a hiatus from 2017 to 2019. As to be expected, most of the usual tropes have been employed: a lack of supply, immigration (in this latest case returning New Zealanders), and low interest rates. The only missing ... <a title="Keith Rankin Analysis – Fixing the 2020 New Zealand House Price Bubble" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2020/11/23/keith-rankin-analysis-fixing-the-2020-new-zealand-house-price-bubble/" aria-label="Read more about Keith Rankin Analysis – Fixing the 2020 New Zealand House Price Bubble">Read more</a>

Analysis by Keith Rankin. The most recent TVNZ Colmar Brunton poll felt about right: Labour/Green on 54% and National/Act on 38% of decided voters. But I sense that Labour is losing momentum.

Analysis by Keith Rankin. Definition ‘Balance sheet recession’ is an innocuous name for a very big economic event.
