Hey Aucklanders, some good news - selected branches will still be open tomorrow and Thursday from 9am – 4.30pm.

Something’s gotta give: in our Weekly Focus we discuss how the widening gap between deposits coming into the NZ banking system and loans going out can’t persist. Credit constraints are an unfortunately timed headwind for the economy with no painless fixes. https://t.co/eQTCLQQDvf
