A week of big news

Mortgage Rates

The announcement yesterday that Sam Knowles was stepping down as chief executive of Kiwibank attracted plenty of comment from readers. Click here to view.

Last week it was all about the Budget. Since then we have checked in with economists on what impact they think Bill English’s mildly stimulatory Budget will have on interest rates. Details are in this story.

We have more expert commentary on where rates are headed in Experts Views and a new graph for you. This graph shows how rates are rising and how they compare to their historical averages.

Also this week we have added Heretaunga Building Society’s rates to our table.
