Nigel Grant is joined by Kirk Hope, Chief Executive of the Financial Services Council (FSC), to unpack the FSC’s Prosperity Agenda and its vision for strengthening New Zealand’s financial future. Kirk breaks down why the FSC wants KiwiSaver contributions to gradually rise to 12%, the case for automatically enrolling New Zealanders at birth, and how a larger pool of national savings could give individuals, businesses and the country more choices over time. They also explore the role of insurance in building financial resilience, how New Zealand savings could support investment and economic growth, and why the FSC believes greater regulatory stability and a more coordinated approach to financial services could help turn long-term ambition into action.
