Government decided to spend money, he decided how much that money costs. The government should have a cohesive plan that includes a sound monetary policy, they did not. It's his job to do what he is told regardless of what he wants. We vote the government in they make the policy's, and the Reserve bank must follow those instructions. Blame the only we voted in....

[@numnum5]

Because you see where the money went. into the economy, infrastructure, to do that needed to hire heaps of people, had to train and upskill 90% of them businesses did well because govt support them, alot of them grew and imporved significantly after covid and FINALLY dairy! it boomed becuase the dollar fell too, so more export. So overall the economy grew. Once covid ended the govt got in alot fo people to cater to our business needs and with the huge population coming in means govt starts wracking $$$ too.

[@user-nu8lu1ov7i]

@@numnum5 quite the opposite, the government wasted billions of $ on projects with ZERO value for the economy. Making the government bigger not to "cater" for the business but wasted on ethnic BS and green nonsense while importing coal. Some businesses did well due to the lockdowns while the governor is blaming people for sitting in their homes and shopping online. Not to add how much the government helped big pharma and banks make out of people's pocket, at the same taxes increased. So you see... all the pressure is on the people to pay billions back while people's wages are lowered and has less value, prices are higher, while the inflated governor wants a round of applaud for saying maori words and "being transparent" dumbing the audience down.

17.50 , so the real inflation is 19% , thankyou madison , for getting the truth rate out on the air waves

[@Delosian]

19% over six years (2018 - 2024). That's "only" an average of 3% per year compounded. Given the target is 1-3% that isn't too bad. It was the 7.14% in 2021-2022 that really hurt. Right now it is down to 3.3%. (From 2018 - 2024 = 1.6%, 1.63%, 1.71%, 3.94%, 7.14%, 4.0%, 3.3%). Based on my back-of-the-envelope calculations it should actually be a 23.7% increase over the last 6 years.

Being transparent and accountable should not be seen as a challenge. It's a basic government responsibility to the people they serve and right it’s long overdue. To speak of becoming more transparent because everything has become further disordered dysfunctional is to little to late. Now most will suffer due to bad governing bad management! How politics, finance and the health system work should be taught at school from a very early age as it allows everyone to be on the same page same reality to be better prepared to best meet all of our basic needs. It’s the education systems that are obviously not teaching what's actually important. We need to look at what’s seriously lacking as more of the same schooling is showing us over an over again, it needs serious attention!

It would lead to communism- not that that's a bad thing, kiwis understand Marxism less than they understand fractional lending, the global economy, or the swift system. But I totally agree. A friend once said, "i didn't even understand politics until my mid-30s." I thought my story was pretty similar, I hated it but was forced to fumble my way, then do my own research. But you're right.

[@martinlukes9962]

15 mins onwards...Backing Fiat Currency... NZ all sold our Sovereign Gold in 1992. Since communicating with the RB for last 2 years AND my local MP. on this business , Gold has appreciated in Value from NZ$2800 to NZ$3700 . In that same time period Central Banks around the world have been buying record amounts to back their fiat currencies. AND be a future Store of Value. Derisking our soveriegn fiat currency and system should surely be an elected MP's responsibility or a Government employees in the Reserve Bank? Revisiting Gold should surely be an option. --- With Gold now breaking out from the US$2000 and the US debt costs spiralling expect gold to appreciate towards and past US$2500 in 2024. With gold in NZ$ heading past NZ$4000. This would be a great asset on our collective Balance Sheet

[@happipat3374]

A little on the lightweight side, I thought, but then, media so often reaps rewards (ie readership) by reinforcing inadequacies in the general public's understanding of the issues involved.

[@MartinVanRijswijk]

Madison made a good effort to try and keep Adrian Orr honest. Being the Keynesian economist that he is, he was assertive in defending a failing global economic system. I like the way Madion tried to push him on what inflation really is, and her question around '"Do you think there is still general trust in the central banking system?" Trust in central banks is steadily eroding due to their support of weak governments that are addicted to debt (spurred on by voters who dont want to see them tighten the nation's spending). As Milton Friedman famously said: “Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.” Adrian Orr in partnership with Miss Ardern and Mr Robertson panicked and entered a period of unprecedented money printing. The NZ economy and Kiwis are paying the price today for their lack of nerve. The hole they created is not going away anytime soon.

[@myresponsesarelimited7895]

All those do not apply to gold, which can be faked, can't be easily transferred, can be copied (paper gold), does not have a fixed supply. If gold goes up in price, gold miners are incentivised to dig for more. There is much more, but you need to do your own research.

Good job on drilling down on the math behind inflation, there are many contributing factors but suddenly increasing $50b of currency supply without commensurate increase in productivity/output will inevitably result in inflation which will then the "corrected" by extracting wealth from citizens via interest rate increases to "protect" the currency on the global market...

[@crankhandle]

He seems to think stable prices are ones that increase at 2-3 percent.. Printing currency doesn't cause economic expansion, productivity dose. Printing currency only steals value from previous currency and cause prices to increase. When money was backed by gold there wasn't inflation and the economy still grow through innovation and productivity. Prices were stable and sometimes deflationary so it was possible to save money without the hidden tax of inflation.

[@magingi]

Printing money is a 'tax' primarily on the working class and middle class. Those with great wealth(the minority), have their main assets in things like property, therefore they are far less impacted by inflation since property for example tends to keep up with inflation. In effect, if a loaf of bread costs $1, and you print a dollar for every dollar already in existence, the price of a loaf of bread is now, $2. Immoral and corrupt. That dollar is not worth the paper it is written on. As a 'promissory note' that is. If you had for example been working hard and saving hard for many years and had 100K in the bank, in real terms, due to money printing, your 100K has depreciated at least, 30%. One should also note that house prices are not included in calculating inflation.

Inflation is "effectively" a tax and the NZ Reserve Bank have a mandate to maintain the 1-3% inflation tax, this also helps the GDP numbers and the government books. Due to way too much money printing over Covid, the Reserve Bank is panicking and going nuts with interest rates, not realising it takes 1-2 years for any rate adjustment to have an effect.

[@cpnurseries]

The trouble is that Labour changed the mandate of the Reserve Bank. The Reserve Bank has to be politically neutral and therefore can't be seen to be saying that the economic mess that we are in is a direct result of Labour policies...... although that is absolutely the case.

Fiat money used to be based on gold. Instead of having to cart it round, or hide away, a paper document as in an IOU, which could be redeemed in gold. But gold is limited in quantity unless more is found. Ergo fiat money gets restricted in bill numbers. But a bit of a confidence trick then occurs, and, more paper money is put into circulation and inflation follows.

The one thing Bitcoin has is scarcity, that is where the value of the cryptocurrency lies. It is a global unit of account and unless the internet dies, bitcoin not only stays for good but provides options in store of value more so then any Fiat currency with an inflation rate.

[@waxeye6488]

Inflation is always profit led. As companies become more monopolistic they increase prices or price gouge. The figures show this. Alongside this is regular escalation of executive pay while always aiming to limit worker pay.

The only reason people have trust in fiat currency (if you can call it trust) is because we are forced to use it to pay our taxes, not because we trust the people that print it. Every fiat currency over history has collapsed what is different about this one.

[@richardstephenson5563]

Great interview! Tough questions were asked, and I think the Governor came across better for it. In hindsight big mistakes were made with the quantity and duration of stimulus as well as being so slow to tighten after inflation had already started soaring but at least RBNZ are acknowledging the errors and lessons learned, more so than the FED and ECB. I hope they adjust their models, start putting more weight on real time data and are far less interventionist in the future. There’s no free lunch with any intervention and especially with monetary stimulus.

[@tergo3731]

Good Interview. Money printing during covid saw too much money chasing too few goods. We had supply disruption, workers staying home & a government ramping up its spending. Either central banks all miscalculated that demand would stay high while supply of goods & services was low or they did it on purpose. The only easy levers to float off government debt is through inflation & immigration. Both of which we have now. The only real but hard path to prosperity is through productivity not money printing.

I'm holding off investing in the markets, cause I don't see any stability long term. So I am holding my money in the banksters investment term deposits, till I feel I can transition at a later date. This interview confirms the NZ economy is more stable than other countries and Adrian has been a long term head, with his head screwed on tight. This gives me confidence that I can hold my retirement investment in the bank, before I 'jump ship' to a share portfolio. Not all my Easter Eggs are in 1 basket, I have some in a balanced portfolio.

[@colinboggust2950]

Good interview.

[@lincolnscott3155]

Instead of raising interest rates that penalise debtors, why doesn’t our (western) government’s force banks to increase capital reserve ratios which ALSO pulls fiat currency out of the economy having the same effect of reducing currency supply and subsequent inflation..? The advantage of this also ensures the capital reserve ratio of banks have adequate funds in the event of a run-on-the-banks so bail-in via taxpayers is minimised or potentially eliminated. Is this just a good idea or does it goes against the central banking model of pushing the 99% into abject poverty long-term..?

[@frostmelody]

Simple supply and demand. More supply of money means everyone can afford pay more for the same price means inflation. At the end of all this is ppl who didn’t get all that extra money printed will be worse off. Price is not coming down, the 19% increase is now the norm. The system is fundamentally broken and the central bank can’t do anything. Government will end up giving out more handouts to subsidise the poor.

[@pennyjackson5026]

Well done with some of the hard questions. However you should have included 1. CBDCs 2. Bail Ins 3. Lack of competition 4. Intrusive privacy issues with lending money, 5. if our fiat money system is backed up by the general public being seen. as the guarantee to back the fiat system , who owns the assets? 6. Why does our fiat monetary system lack a real back- up like gold instead of printing money from thin air?

[@sandworm9528]

Read Keynes. Gold standard was deflationary and caused depressions

[@pennyjackson5026]

😂 At least currency was backed up by a asset that had value and has been used for millennia as money in a gold backed currencyYou are deluded if you think that gold caused depressions. The system we have now is printing money out of thin air, as is carbon credits! And the people are now the guarantees for banks and their greed and derivatives. What do you think Bail-Ins are? It’s when a bank fails it means that by law, and Adrian Or, Grant Robertson and the Labour government signed bail ins as law in 2020. This means when a bank fails it can now legally steal your deposits to keep it afloat. As our banking system has no gold backed currency and banks only keep 1% of depositors money, because they are lending it out as derivatives, what happens in a bank run? Worse than a depression my friend. Kensian economics is a socialist and communist monetary system. AND the 4.7% Adrian or mentioned as inflation, was caused by money printing. The CPI index is a lie as well. These are just figures that are not related to the real CPI, if you add increase in interest on mortgages, government taxes, rates etc. It’s a fabrication and the real cost of living if you added these factors in would be in the double digits. I am of the opinion that we have been in a recession for the last two years and headed for a depression by 2025. And that my friend has nothing to do with gold and everything to do with banks, and governments.

[@andrewking9435]

@sandworm9528 problem was nixon went off the gold standard because of US overspending. Having a gold anchor doesnt cause depressions

[@pennyjackson5026]

How is it that my reply was deleted? Perhaps my reply was too honest and blew off the lies and deception that everybody is supposed to swallow? However I will repeat a few titbits. Kensian economics is Marxist, socialism and ignorant in the extreme. IT is designed to create a debt based monetary system with fiat currency, i.e nothing to back up the little bits of paper and Adrian Ors slight if hand in writing a number on a piece of plastic. He and all the other bankers and governments want to keep people ignorant that inflation was caused by him printing money from thin air. IT HAS nothing to do with a war in Ukraine, supply issues etc. He, Grant Robertson and the Labour government signed in Bail In policy in 2020. Basically legalising the theft of money by confiscating a depositors money should a bank fail. Thus all 4 OZ banks can now keep your money under Bail In policy if they collapse. If a run on the banks takes place the banks will shut the doors because under the rules governing money now, a bank can lend out the same dollar multiple times and doesn’t need to have any assets, like gold to back it up, whilst only being required to keep a fraction of money in the vaults. Thus they wouldn’t have your money in the vaults to pay out in a bank run. Recession, if you count taxes, rates, interest on mortgages etc in the CPI index has been with us for a very long time. With those factors inflation would show as being in the double digits and has been for the last few years. A depression and crash is just around the corner and the crash will be nasty because banks have already collided with governments to bring in draconian CBDCs and tokenising of peoples assets, like their home. One thing Or was honest about was the fact that the backing for the fiat lie is the people in the street. Now GDP can be calculated as how much each NZer owes with our deficit. Banks and their legalised systems are nothing but a Ponzi scheme. If everybody realised that the money they owe on their debts has been lent out multiple times, from thin air. and that the interest they pay is being triple dipped, Or said 8/1 I believe, people would be in an uproar. The banks right now are worried about alternative currency like metals and Bitcoin. When the whole house of cards collapses they have already put in place Bail Ins and CBDCs and the ability to tokenise them peoples assets.
