US hits debt limit, Federal government shuts down. Trump rebuffed on Cook firing. US industry retreats with labour market. Global PMIs mixed. China on holiday.

Economy Watch is a regular analysis of the financial forces shaping life in New Zealand. Hosted by David Chaston and Gareth Vaughan from interest.co.nz, this podcast digs into the weekly data, policy shifts, and market movements that quietly dictate everything from mortgage rates and grocery bills to job prospects and investment returns. The conversation moves beyond headline numbers, offering context and clarity on what the Reserve Bank's latest decision means for your wallet, how global commodity prices ripple through to local farms, or why a change in migration statistics matters for the housing market. It’s a grounded, informed discussion for anyone who wants to understand the mechanics behind the news, whether you're managing a business, a portfolio, or simply a household budget. Tune in to Economy Watch for a clear-eyed perspective on the economic currents that define our everyday reality, delivered by journalists who have been tracking these stories for years. You'll find this podcast an essential tool for connecting the dots in a complex financial landscape.
