NZMAI · · 1 min read
New Zealanders vote this Saturday after a week of soft economic news. Unemployment rose to 5.7 percent, house values fell for a seventh month in a row, and two of the main banks trimmed some fixed rates. For advisers, the mix of falling prices, easing rates and a cautious job market is changing the conversations clients want to have.
