Behaviour of aging New Zealanders to impact interest rates, asset prices, RBNZ says WELLINGTON (Reuters) -New Zealand’s savings, borrowing and investment behaviour is likely to change as its population ages, affecting interest rates, asset prices and demand for financial products, New Zealand’s central bank said in a report released on Tuesday. Kerry Watt, director of Financial System Assessment at the central bank, said the economic impact will unfold slowly, but financial institutions need to understand and be prepared for the structural changes and potential risks associated with this long-term change. “Understanding and adapting to these changes will be key to maintaining financial system resilience,” he said. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand report found that overall savings are expected to rise in the near term before declining as people typically borrow when young, save during their working years, and draw down those savings in retirement. “Increased saving could put downward pressure on interest rates and lift the value of assets like housing and equity. Demand for housing loans may decline as the population ages,” it said. “Older investors may favour lower risk assets.” Increased deposit funding and reduced demand for mortgages may encourage a shift towards other types of lending and expansion in the provision of other services, the bank added.

We should tax the UK assets of the super-rich, just like the Chinese would tax Chinese assets of those living overseas.

While I aim to post fewer technical posts, I want to start with a comment advising #options traders from relying too much on vega. Vega is one of the options Greeks that measures the impact of increased volatility on #assetprices. But there is a fundamental problem with this calculation.

Bloomberg: “For now it’s pretty clear that #politics is not a major consideration driving major #US and #dollar-denominated #assetprices,” though the #election may start to matter more as it approaches, Bloomberg macro strategist Cameron Crise wrote.”
