High inflation, job insecurity, and interest rates through the roof have been plaguing New Zealanders over the last few years.
While it looks like we are turning a post-Covid corner, new threats are on the horizon as global conflicts continue, and questions remain over what the new Government's plans for fixing the economy actually are.
