How is the economy faring ahead of the election?
Listen now
Description
The election campaign is well and truly underway now, and the economy is set to be the talking point thanks to the cost of living crisis and ongoing inflation.  Things heated up this week after Finance Minister Grant Robertson announced four billion dollars in savings for the next four year forecast period. That’s doubling the savings found ahead of this years Budget, and shows just what a tight squeeze we’re in at the moment - and it sets some tricky landmines for other parties, with National's tax policy due this week.   To give us insight into the state of the economy and how that plays into the election, Madison is joined by New Zealand Herald Wellington business editor Jenee Tibshraeny and Westpac senior economist Satish Ranchhod.
