Our Chief Economist Jarrod Kerr joins Bernard Hickey on his podcast When the Facts Change to discuss and dissect the trajectory of inflation and interest rates, both here in Aotearoa New Zealand and around the globe. Their discussion covers what persistent inflation and high interest rates could mean for the Kiwi dollar, how US Fed chair Jerome Powell's recent comments could affect Aotearoa New Zealand and the state of the price of gold.
