This week, PM Jacinda Ardern announced we’re having a general election on September 19. Commentators were quick to point out that September 19 will be the 127th anniversary of women’s suffrage in New Zealand. However, given that election day will be preceded by weeks of political pledges and puffery, we shouldn’t forget that September 19 also marks the 247th anniversary of the first-ever hot air balloon flight which took place at Versailles in front of the French King Louis XVI on September 19, 1783. And the symbolic relevance of that momentous day to our general election doesn’t end there.

Consumers relatively upbeat in latest confidence index
Low interest rates and a stronger housing market are keeping consumers relatively buoyant.

Consumers were slightly less optimistic about their current position but are slightly more upbeat about the longer term, and more think it's a good time to buy a big-ticket item. "New Zealand consumers are feeling pretty alright about things at the moment - the labour market remains tight, interest rates are low and the housing market is lifting again," ANZ's chief economist Sharon Zollner said. She said the lift in the housing market was likely behind the rise in those thinking its a good time to buy a major household item, which in turn would support the retail sector.

A little-known trucking company surges nearly 58% after Volkswagen makes a surprise offer to buy
Hardly a household name, truck manufacturer Navistar’s stock rose to sudden popularity Thursday, continuing into Friday’s pre-market trading. Shares surged as much as 57.7% Friday after Volkswagen’s trucking arm, Traton, made an unsolicited offer to buy the company for $US2.9 billion, or $US35 per share, Thursday. Volkswagen, which already owns a 16.76% stake in Navistar, said it would pay entirely in cash. The two companies are some of the biggest in the truck-making industry. But to make the acquisition, Volkswagen will have to get the blessing of activist investor Carl Icahn: The billionaire’s fund owns about 17% of Navistar’s outstanding stock, making Icahn Navistar’s single largest shareholder. The offer comes at a time when the broader trucking manufacturing industry is in a slump, with new orders in decline, The Wall Street Journal previously reported. In its most recent earnings, Navistar’s fourth quarter revenue declined versus the year prior. The stock started the year sliding downwards after it trailed…

Gallup: Credit Unions Feel The Love
The notion that credit unions (CUs) play country mouse to their more worldly banking cousins is beyond flawed, as a recent poll by the Gallup organization showed. Delving into customer sentiments across measures – including "helps me reach my financial goals" and "puts my financial well-being ahead of the interests of the bank" – Gallup found that credit unions are crushing it. Banks, not nearly as much. Banks did not surpass credit unions in any criterion used by Gallup. In fact, it wasn't even close. Though respondents had generally positive feelings about banks – for example, about financial institutions (FIs) being helpful during difficult life events – the focus on relationship-building and more personalized forms of finance have given credit unions the edge. For those who capitalize on it, the advantage will come in handy as FIs shapeshift their way to greater customer-centricity. How CUs sustain their unique brand of customer loyalty is among the core insights from the latest

But speaking to a section of the media in a Facebook Livestream event, the former President noted that it was needless setting up that Ministry. “I don’t think that you need a Business Development Ministry to promote Private Sector Growth.
