RBNZ: The Power To Change Our Money, Ep 440 Ian Woolford
Today, I’m grateful to be speaking with Ian Woolford, the head of money and cash at the Reserve Bank of NZ.
Central Bank Digital Currency, branded as ‘digital cash’ by the RBNZ, has the potential to give the banking scene the boot up the backside we desperately need. One step further, trillions of dollars of assets migrating into the digital ecosystem (which is what CBDC’s help facilitate) will usher in the most significant changes to wealth we’ve EVER seen.
Concerns exist, absolutely, especially over the long term.
A responsible and trustworthy RBNZ is the at the base-layer of our financial system. CBDC’s have the potential to dramatically increase the power they hold. Our trust in them must therefore increase over time.

Clean sweep: loo roll goes geothermal – Mark Stevens, Essity
You probably know Essity more what’s in your house: Purex and Sorbent in your loo and Handee towels in your kitchen. You may also know that this tissue is produced in a mill in Kawerau, central North Island, across the road from the old Tasman Pulp & Paper mill. Perhaps what you didn’t know is that by the end of this year, the Essity mill will have ditched gas to run almost all on renewable geothermal steam. This shift will reduce the mill’s carbon footprint by 66% compared to 2009, cutting emissions equivalent to taking over 2,200 cars off the road.

We’re so optimised for facts, that we’ve forgotten about meaning. The inability to hold a contrarian view may cause side effects like blindness, or extremist views like believing in a flat earth or that you can trust the government.

A Property Boom, Interrupted? Ep 437 / Kieran Trass
Those with too much, or too little testosterone may wish to quibble about the exact lengths of a property cycle, but the relevant thing is that the property cycle is slower than other asset classes. This affords the everyday investor an opportunity to jump on board at more optimal times than others. Should you factor this into your decisions when buying or selling property?
Today I’m talking with Kieran Trass who is the author, and perfecter, of what could arguably be called the property owners bible.
His book, ‘Grow Richer with the Property Cycle,’ concentrates his expertise into a guide that every first home buyer, investor, or upgrader should reference regularly.

Will more oil and gas lower energy costs? Christina Hood and David Hall
In late August the wholesale energy price spiked as high as $1000 mwh (megawatt hour) as the country felt the effects of a dry winter – when the hydro lakes aren’t replenished by ice melt and rain. The spike has added woes to an already woeful economy and at least one factory – Winstone Pulp International – announced closure.
In response, the government announced a suite of actions, including construction of a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal, a review into the energy market. This comes on top of reversing the ban on oil and gas exploration. Fossil fuels come back all is forgiven! But do we need to more gas and oil? Could renewables fix the dry winter problem? And just how did we get into this mess?
Vincent interviews energy expert Dr Christina Hood and Dr David Hall, a contributor to Rewiring Aotearoa.
