This week on Lunch Money, Leighton Roberts (Sharesies' co-CEO) and Alice Rountree (Sharesies' financial analyst) hosts a discussion about the recent OCR (Offical Cash Rate) announcement by the Reserve Bank.

They're joined by the Chief Economist for Deloitte New Zealand, Zoe Wallis. In the ensuing chat they talk about what the OCR is, how it's used by the Reserve Bank to control the economy, what the decision to hold the OCR at 0.25 percent means for investors and if the OCR is even still fit for purpose.
